"Every tool of compliance and coercion is leveraged by leadership, by the influence peddlers, and by career staffers to force you to conform to the proper civility, decorum, and deference to your superiors. The supposedly sacrosanct ways of Washington are forced upon you--and it is all total and utter bullshit. Speaker Pelosi with her gavel has a certain kind of power, but the commander of a grass roots army? Now that's real power!" ~Krystal Ball

Dear squad: Please don't get caught in the crossfire. You've already waited far too long for many of your true and faithful progressive soldiers. Don't pull an Elizabeth Warren. Your bona fides are at stake. You can't have it both ways. That's what careerists try to do. Either lead, follow, or get out of the way. Time won't wait.
