no, the issue is: does she see us as people to use (and discard) to get to her goals, or does she see herself as willing to be allies with radicals --without holding her nose. plenty of liberals, dems, whatevers are red baited, easily, and they usually throw radical leftists under the bus. if this is about how many tread marks radicals should endure...
but it's really a moot point, for me. i'm not about to put money in hamsher's piggy bank. i don't care if others do, nor do i care if they actually do more to make alliances. i just don't think that's where the action is -- because they aren't building anything that has a life of it's own -- or could have. they are building a fundraising operations and a voting block. not my cuppa.
