The Purity Test (stop shitting in the punch bowl)

[Joseph Tracy]

I don’t accept this idea that good ideas can never win, and good people will always lose . Franklin Roosevelt proves that wrong. Give people something worth having  and fighting for and they will support you. 
  Obama started with a majority and it seems to me he lost it when he failed to deal with the reckless lawbreaking of the Banks in the house-loan scam. His ACA turned out to be weak tea originally developed by Mitt Romney.  

I have not walked away from anything but wars of aggression and fossil fuel addiction.. You can support them if you like, justify them if you will. I will not.

The choice is to take what's on the table and keep working for more and better, or to walk away in disgust that fellow citizens don't share our priorities.
