10. I'm ok with rank and file seeing the light (however belatedly) and switching sides

I have more problem with the welcoming with open arms of people who were media people, political advisors, politicians, those spent their careers building the road to the mess we're in now.

I know plenty of people on our side were all "the enemy of our enemy is our friend" about these people, because we needed every vote in the election, but they've proven (repeatedly, actually) that they don't move the needle at all, and it sabotages us to be seen being chummy with these people. (and plenty of them haven't really changed and are waiting for us to do all the dirty work so they can shiv us in the kidneys and go back to the Republican "normality" of 2005.)
