Opinion of Jfern?

[Citizen James]

He's a left wing version of Jake.

Frankly, I find the juvinile behavior of those who toss around the term 'jfraud' apalling.

I never did like the whole french revolution era left/right chart.  Even though Nolan-charts (like the political compass) are better, they still are fairly simplistic.  The reason we have political parties is not because the whole world fits into two or so neat platforms - it's because of game theory.  Elections, unlike life, are pretty much a zero sum game - more than two candidates and you get spoilers.  So you end up with fights of who can build collitions of various issue and interest groups - and a few who go overboard like it was a high school football rivalry.

His positions are at least consistant, if not pragmatic.

If I were to pick a word, I suppose it would be Quioxic.

I wonder what we would label the man of la mancha and his crusade against the dragons windmills.
