In a way I haven't seen in a hot minute.

There are some issues in the community - that obviously I'll not be posting on DU for reasons well known to you - that are already simmering because of stuff like this. If the radical activists really want to tip that apple cart, they won't win.

I don't know if they've read a newspaper this week, but playing the "how many allies can we alienate?" game at this juncture in our politics is certainly a choice somebody is making.
