I am deeply tired of purity politics and stupidity. Moral clarity is great. Refusing to build coalitions -- man, we would not have had a Civil Rights Act or a VRA if MLK were as prissy as you folks. And he was WAY more radical than you.

(Oh — and we DON’T have a functioning VRA and it’s because some of you were too prissy to vote for a Democrat)
@pdnell A lot of this gets more clear when you realize that a distressing large proportion of the most loud-mouthed people don't actually care about making any positive difference. It's posturing all the way down, and posturing (as opposed to actually accomplishing things) works better
