That’s what a lot of people don’t get. I mean LBJ probably wasn’t our most personally left wing president but he probably got more progressive legislation accomplished than many more progressive than him would have since he understood the legislative process.

From the top diary on the kos rec list:

The infinitely complex strands of history have produced, by whatever strange math or magic, an anomalous and serendipitous opportunity to change directions as a society in a significant and unprecedented way. A no doubt, once in a lifetime chance to exert massive leverage on a whole range of stubbornly entrenched problems, correcting for the most egregious mistakes of history and culture.

(AND, if we all don’t get a pony, we’ll try something else next time)
