with your definition of propping and your hyperbole (careless and reckless). Propping is politically supporting candidates who favor corporations over people with your vote, time (volunteering), or money. All that other stuff is living within the conditions that exist.

The Clinton "progressives" have always favored business/corporations over people on every major economic policy decision. Hard to defend that as more progressive in light of the longer term economic failure. Clinton progressives/Third Wayers//New Democrats are progressive on social issues, conservative on economic. The proof is in the pudding, but they -- like Republicans are so wedded to their elite economic theories they ignore the facts.
