Picayune Progressives

“So Max Baucus didn’t listen to us. Big deal. So we didn’t get invitations to White House tea parties. Who cares? It may be understandable that progressives feel dissed, but are we really all such delicate flowers that we’re going to give up on a cause we’ve spent a century on because the current bill isn’t quite what we’d like and Rahm Emanuel is mean to us? Jesus.” —Kevin Drum, “Our Dysfunctional Left,” Mother Jones. End.
