Imagine that...
People, can we stop acting surprised now? Obama is not a progressive in any sense of the word, and certainly not in regards to foreign policy and national security. The Patriot Act isn't going anywhere for a very long time.
Yup. 2008 was the best opportunity to elect a progressive in 32 years, and it was wasted on some useless moderate hero. Obama was a major mistake. Not that the other top-tier primary candidates were any better. Carter was a conservative Democrat challenged from the left by Ted Kennedy, when he was President, and now he'd be too liberal to get the nomination. American politics is garbage.
Quite. That said, it's laughable to think that there is any inkling of a liberal movement in this country. America is one of the most conservative countries on Earth and
this is the extent of 'American Liberalism'. It's our populous, terrified of change and any solution that doesn't include a profit line for somebody, as that would imply the motive is far worse? I think it's time that we start looking into relocation.
