424. I don't think that's true
I think that action liberals are simply focused on much smaller policy changes than movement liberals. They are people who set out to accomplish things like making it illegal for insurance companies to deny you for a pre-existing condition and allowing people to stay on their parents' plan until they are 26. If they get these things they are satisfied and they have no problem making compromises to get them.

Movement liberals are people who set out to make big changes like fundamentally reforming the health care system. They are people who aren't satisfied with those small changes and are even less satisfied with the deal making that goes into getting those small changes.
