1. So we should oust all the puritans -- a term defined as "people who don't fully agree with MrPool"

The obvious fact is that there are multiple struggles going on at once. We want to defeat this particular nominee, we want to flip the House, we want to flip the Senate, we want to elect governors whose four-year terms will give them a key role in the next redistricting, etc.

Beyond that, Democrats have a legitimate interest in supporting their preferred candidate in Democratic primaries. That's how internal disagreements are resolved.

You demand that Our Revolution abandon all other goals and instead pay sole attention to the goal that happens to have you worked up at the moment. Are you making a similar demand of other organizations? For example, must EMILY's List forget about candidates for the House who will support reproductive rights, and instead look only at the Supreme Court, on pain of being denounced by DU otherwise?

You appear to be demanding purity even as you denounce puritans.
