3. yes, but it is a two-way street

I like what Michael Moore said: Mr. President, do not listen to the pundits who today call for you to "compromise." No. You already tried that. It didn't work. You can compromise later if you need to, but please, no more beginning by compromising. And if the Republican House doesn't want to play ball, do a massive end run around them with one executive order after another – just like they have done and will do if given the chance again.

Progressive activists have learned the hard way that Obama himself is best at keeping his own promises when he is held to them by organized and mobilized grassroots campaigns. Also, he needs help and support throughout the year. (Huffington Post)

Progressives do not do that. It is a two-way street.

Next, like the GOP, progressives need to be enthusiastic in 2014. They do not and that always hurts us.
