It's really interesting looking at who gets treated which way by Sanders campaign Joe Rogan and his audience are the customers - their loyalty is fickle and to be sedulously courted "Woke SJWs" are the employees - their loyalty is assumed and enforced with highhanded disdain

This is a false analogy. Rogan is making overtures toward supporting the campaign. which is helpful. Noisy SJWs are complaining about the offer of help. Of course a serious political movement is going to want more pulling together & less pushing out & apart.

I assume you're not a Christian. But there's this whole idea in the Christian tradition about repentance & trying to do better. We try & save the lost. We try & spread the good news, through imperfect vessels. That ethos built a world religion. It's effective.

And the world religion it built didn't drift away from its founder's message at all, right

OK. You know what Christianity looks like with added purism, & without seeking converts? Puritanism. Particular Baptists. You really don't want that to be a working model for either gaining or using political power. Winning elections is what we are trying to do here.

Yes, the truly *universal* church ("catholic church") was, of course, a shining light of positive change that we should all seek to emulate

Heh. I'm too Greek to have a high opinion of the Latin branch of the Church. But I meant it as a metaphor. Maybe it's too charged a metaphor, though. Christians do have a long history of immorality & even fratricide.

It's a pretty good metaphor because the sins of the Church are the sins of any "universal" movement It's why the Puritans came into existence in the first place and if you think "purity" movements don't have good reasons for being what they are you haven't thought about it
