Reply #62: No intellectual contortions at all

As I said, given the circumstances, it was probably necessary.

HOWEVER, it is not an "elitist" position to recognize that somewhere along the line we have to stop letting the GOP and Corporate Oligarchs continue to roll us.

AND whenever we start to actually push back, there is going to be problems and consequences involved. That's the nature of it...I am not suggesting sacrificing people for ideology, but there is never going to be a time when there will be no consequences or risks involved in fighting back.

Unless you prefer that Democrats continue to look for excuses to further empower and enrich the GOP and wealthy exploiters, which is a defacto form of elitism.
