13. I have plenty of backbone

but only so much time. It's wise to examine how much of our energy to expend arguing with people here, we need to do tangible things for progress, not just argue with other DUers.

I'm not a real fan of tabling, fairly shy really, seems like a good use of time though, I might try to hook up with a registration effort. How does that work, can you do so in the context of supporting a candidate or do you just have to generically go out there and neutrally register Dems?

I like the Bernie group here, also want to find a similar but larger community that is more progressive to balance the DLC--based DU time I put in, any suggestions?
