Do you support concessions to banks to win elections?

31. I like this poll :)

Some interpreted your poll literally when all you've done is highlight how pragmatic principles collapse when it comes to established civil rights.

And this is the argument we've been hearing - that the DCCC's announcement was a signal to democrats to be more pragmatic in areas we don't win but the heart of pragmatism is practicality and it specifically relates to policy. It's impractical to adopt a stance that puts your base at risk in the hope of making political gains- when those gains won't be significant. Single issue voters who prioritise pro-life as it relates to reproductive choice will tend to vote Republican. There's enough data pointing to why dems lose , pro- choice positions don't rank high among those reasons.

Further, pragmatism entails cost/ benefit analyses, often in less than ideal circumstances, but there's no evidence I've seen that this signal from the DCCC will help Democrats, rather I'm seeing pushback and the DCCC may see a drop in funding as a result - the last thing they need.
