But that's not what the word means! Only they use it that way, a weaponized password to get into the exclusive purity club. It's an identity thing.

No compromise or incrementalism (why liberal Democrats get progressive policies done, they compromise because that's what passing legislature requires). All or nothing, righteous purity intact (no responsibility!). Transformative revolution only. Stunning overconfidence that THIS TIME all or nothing will work because The People will see they are right (sternly worded speeches and rallies) and follow. When it doesn't work the only possible reason is because the corrupt Democratic establishment conspires to stop at nothing to thwart them, they are TERRIFIED.

Purity testing demonizes Democrats who don't pass the test, instantly depriving them of the coveted "progressive" label.

The ends justify the means: slander, lies, conspiracies about Democrats are fine because they, the enemy, must be defeated.

Every motivation is money except for the pure whose money is non corrupting grassroots.
