I think we should shut it down.

If that means that we DO have to discuss the intersection of "social justice" and "economic justice", so be it. If that means that we DO have to "follow the money", so be it.

I think we should fight for justice on every level.

I don't think we should ever give in to some argument that in the end we're all the same.
Working with Republicans is one thing. Working to enable the highest ideals of the progressive wing of the Democratic party is a totally different thing.

Those who would sacrifice everything in order to ensure a "bipartisan, moderate, centrist, third-way" win are nothing other than Republican "centrists" who play the same rigged game.
