1 I have some recommendations for people of the left becoming disgusted and demoralized by the Democratic primary campaign:

2 When partisan legislation and reform ameliorates a problem, increases fairness, saves lives don't dismiss it, let yourself celebrate it.

3 When partisan legislation and reform inevitably falls short of our hopes work hard and long in a campaign to accomplish a radical outcome.

4 Choosing a lesser evil different enough to make a real difference for people is a vehicle for progress, so have the courage to choose it.

5 If you are disgusted or demoralized by this sort of thing, you are probably wasting a lot of energy that could be doing good instead.

6 Elections are job interviews for real jobs not celebrity fandoms, partisan politics is about compromised problem-solving not "Revolution."

7 Remember that partisan reform politics and radical movement politics are both indispensable but also inadequate alone to sustain progress.

8 Partisan politics must be pushed from the left, what is possible and important in legislation is shaped by struggles on the ground…

9 ...but it's in the compromised problem solving space of reform legislation most radical effort and imagination crystallizes into progress.

10 Remember that no one knows enough about all that is happening and can happen in the world ever to be fully justified in despair.

11 Remember that demoralization feeds acquiescence to the status quo or wastes energies in disorganized protest better marshaled for change.

12 There is more than enough work to do. You can find meaning in heartbreaking, compromised, organized efforts to make and sustain progress.

Dude , you're getting pathetic. Apparently politics is the gay version of consumerist fandom. Shame on you for naming your blog based on Hannah Arendt while totally butchering her idea about politics as an end, not means.
An anonymous homophobe on the internet calls me pathetic. That really hurts. Your time would be better spent reading more Arendt. Dude.
