184. They are a group that does a specific thing.

There are other groups that do other things.

There is all kinds of purity tests on DU. Do you have a problem with those here that don't like anyone to say that Clinton had some responsibility for her loss?

As to whether this protest is a good use of their time, sure. I think the amount of money that politicians and those in power get paid by non-governmental entities is a problem. Don't you? I mean, sure, Trump's a problem but one group can't do everything. I really support the FFRF. They aren't taking on Trump's graft and corruption either. Doesn't mean the work they do for separation of church and state isn't good work.
