  • Westwing poisoned a generation of liberals brains, many of whom ended up Obama staffers thinking that politics actually works that way.

    I still shutter having someone explain that Obama giving Republicans half the discretionionary budget instead of doing what the people who voted for him wanted was some kind of political masterstroke; either republicans would get on board and they’d work together to do what’s best for the american people, or voters would see how nice and civil the dems were and vote for them.


  • Democracy isn’t an end in and of itself; if you’re ever choosing between democracy and weilding power to do the things you were elected to to, that would benefit the people, you don’t have a democracy.

    This is relevant when the corporate democrats find all the red tape they need to justify not taking actions their voters want, but their donors don’t.
