17. "Oppose" is a simple term that doesn't properly cover a complex dynamic.

DU members that take on the far Left members don't oppose them. What I have seen instead is an attempt to reason with the far Left and point out that our goals are the same, but our methods of achieving those goals is what vary. The Center and Left-Center get it that people that have the same goals can not agree on how to reach those goals, the far Left don't seem to get it. The far Left would rather burn down the house in the hopes that a better one can be raised from the ashes, what the far Left insures is that republicans will get elected and make rebuilding impossible. I have issues with people that seem incapable of logical reasoning when setting strategy.
