Reply #128: You can't define "purist," which is part of the problem - thus his comment doesn't agree with yours [View All]

at all.

Purist just means "anything where someone I'm talking to is critical of a policy or position coming from democrats which I happen support."

That's the only working definition of purist I've ever heard.

The definition "unwilling to compromise" is horse shit, and applies to next to no one. Most everyone is willing to compromise and work through a process that involves many players - its just sometimes some people aren't willing to make specific compromises while being willing to make others.

Typically calling someone a purist means "not agreeing with me."
