re: #210 HappyWarrior

As I said, merely being right on an issue isn’t enough IMO.

He hasn’t articulated a single plausible path towards enacting any of his proposals, especially in light of recent Congressional GOP intransigence. All he’s ever offered is raw assertion, which I personally find alarming.

His glib assurances that he’ll just be able to push his agenda through, combined with charges that Obama has been naive, and that Obama rolled over on the public option are all frankly various shades of insulting. Finally his policy monomania, insistence upon approaching every problem from foreign policy to institutionalized racism through the framework of economic populism is simplistic as fuck. He’s appealing, at best, to people so full of frustration that they react negatively to any and all calls for pragmatism. At worst he’s knowingly exploiting ignorance.
