and by their own definition -- intending, promising to "dismantle," "destroy," "replace" the evil Democratic Party, etcetera. They believe reforms cannot take place under our current political institutions; their agenda requires their overthrow, and spend most of their energy not on the progressive reforms they ardently claim to support but in causing trouble for Democrats and trying to sabotage their progressive actions.

So it sounds like most of the "progressives" who've been doing well in Pitt really ARE &quot D) first and foremost" because they've been doing well. That was very encouraging to read.

Reportedly a lot of the illiberal types have flooded into the WFP, in some areas anyway. Reports of dissention within and changes from the WFP's traditional cooperation with Democrats to opposition are strong indicators of where those're making themselves felt. It should not be assumed those'd be like Democrats in office.

to "Pitt."
