I am not sure how I alone can change the rules of the DU to be more tolerant of purists. I know what the trap is. If we're more tolerant, we get a bunch of "DOWN WITH OBAMA!!!" divisiveness.

We need to find a way to work together. Call this a cry for help. It's a cry because we'll never hammer the final nail in the Plutocracy's coffin if we keep getting so easily divided like this; and time is fast running out for our opportunity to do so.
