What 'pragmatists' are willing to sell-out their fellow Democratic voters on, the list, is long.
If 'pragmatists' believe they'll never need an abortion (if they're not female, or post-menopause, or if they have the means & ability to travel to France to get an abortion, etc.), then assaults on a woman's right to choose aren't 'deal-breakers'.
If 'pragmatists' have jobs, if they don't own a home (or if they do own a home and able to make mortgage payments), if they have healthcare insurance through their work, if they're young and living in their parents' garage, if they haven't had any significant health problems, if their parents/grandparents are dead, if their parents/grandparents are alive and supporting them (or not supporting them, and able to support themselves), if they can't get married because they're gay, etc., IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.
[Here's another example of the folly of 'pragmatists' & their ig.no.rant support for the miserably flawed healthcare legislation (aka The Big Insurance-PhRma Jackpot Act).]
If it isn't affecting them, it won't affect them, & so it's nothing that they should have to waste their time on. Or in their 'bottom line'.
There's nothing "pragmatic" about these people. They're tunnel-visioned, and only see the issues through their immediate life's circumstances. Some might say that they're in denial. Others might say they're selfish, "narcissistically-inclined". Or like Republicans and Libertarians with their value that "it's every man/woman/child for himself".
But it's certainly not a Democratic value.
And as no discussion on the !nternet is complete without the mention of Hit/er or Not-sees, I think read this, about the lessons of the past benefitting us, how they're the only things to save us...But first we must learn them.
