It has to do with an overstatement of their policy positions, and a complete disregard for everyone else. You would do well to understand that standing up for a principle is in no way "immoral". You might claim that it's politically inept, and you might even be right. But to claim that the only moral thing to do is support the majority - even if said majority is unprincipled - is preposterous.

No - I was saying the only way to get things done is to persuade a majority and branch out from just appealing to a nutty 2%. Just a thought.
