It aint a "purity test," it's a job evaluation

7. thank you. There is a similar argument we have in my union: people who are struggling have trouble

getting excited about arcane, incremental change. They don't have time to do the analysis and figure out if it will really help them, and then take time off work to campaign, donate money, or even vote for something small--even when I personally desperately wish they would.

And incremental change isn't the only kind possible. Part of some people's frustration with Obama and Democrats last brief control of Congress was we had just seem the Republicans go BIG on very bad ideas: wars, tax cuts for the rich, and bail outs for Wall Street.

We want to see Democrats fight as hard and pull out all the stops for average Americans.

Currently, they are doing that in opposing Trump's appointees for the most part. That level of effort needs to continue when (and if) they regain power.
