Reply #24: Where did I say "support the status quo"?

I said that if you're wanting to make changes (and I do, you may not think it, but I also like progressive ideas,) you have to understand how the system works, so you can take actions that are effective.

And my assertion is that if you want to get things done, you need to do things like primarying DINOs (what, you think I like DLC shills like Blanche Lincoln? I gave money to her opponent!) and practicing interest group politics instead of wasting your time with third parties or throwing your vote away by sitting out.
