What's a better term for describing one whose political opinions are the 
same as, Nancy Pelosi's, say?

Agreed, Roger.  But I was responding to the argument that her "poetry of 
witness" was not making her big bucks, that's all.

Sure, but compete as what: advocates of what I call political

the position of student isn't as socially  important as the office of 
member of the Society of American Poets or the like.
