But what needs to be obstructed is the dismantling of government itself. That seems paramount & irrefutable
a tactic that involves more government failing more people, while cathartic, cannot change that.

I agree that obstruction must be done with a conscience. And people shouldn't be thrown under the bus.

As I said earlier it is the Trolley Problem. 5 People on one track and a baby on the other. Do the least harm

now we're on the same page.

I more or less agree wholeheartedly withhttps://twitter.com/evanwolfson/status/796440591563423745 …

@evanwolfson "we will have to organize, persuade, evoke values, and when needed, fight for what we love" -
I agree but this can't be more of the same. "Just like a democrat to bring a knife to a gunfight"

we won in 2006. Remember.

I disagree that government failing people is why Hillary lost

Hillary should have won narrowly. Democrats shouldn't win narrowly.

"it's a divided country" is not axiomatic.

I think you are saying obstruction === government failing people but that feels anecdotal to me.
-
I think that we have to take it a case at a time. If we have a chance to alleviate suffering we should.
-
what if alleviating short term suffering increases long term suffering massively? That is the problem to me
-
I think this is where it gets difficult to speak generally.
-
agreed. Take it case by case. Persuading cannot be at odds with fighting or organizing.
-
agreed but still need to play the long game
-
yes. But not the too-short game.
