The Coffee Party, demand, and civility
I've been a member of the Coffee Party for some time, and I follow them on Facebook. Now and then I add a comment to one article or another.
I have a Coffee Party bumper sticker that I haven't used yet that states "Incite Civility and Reason". The Coffee Party often suggests that members write this politician or that government office to demand something or other. But is demanding some outcome "civility and reason"?
"Demand" is something done by ideologues, not by somebody trying to be civil and reasonable.
