(50,254 posts)I've blocked-walked(all door-to-door canvassing is "block-walking", and all of it is just as hard as what you think block-walking is). I've phone-banked. I've put handouts together and worked on mass mailings. I've attended state conventions in primary AND caucus states.
Being in the real world doesn't have to mean believing winning elections is NOTHING but "ground game".
It doesn't have to mean believing that Democrats can ONLY win by running as a anti-left centrists(Every Democrat who has lost a statewide race in Texas for the past twenty years ran as a bland centrist....THAT's the real world down there).
It doesn't have to mean reducing politics to nothing but increments and checking dreams at the door.
And it doesn't have to mean believing that fighting to save the ACA requires a person to forever give up on fighting for single-payer.
Everyone who supports single-payer is active in the fight to save the ACA.
What is it about what I post that so frightens you? The only explanation for your obsession with trying to discredit and silence me is that you're afraid that people are listening to what I say. Nothing I've called for would cost the party votes.
