(32,886 posts)I'm good at fighting and being prickly. But I wont do it without having a point and a chance of changing something.
Fact is, people who criticize the President on the left the way many folks do here are in such a minority they really don't matter. Even if you accept that 16% of Liberals are unhappy with the President, I think research has shown that amount is split between those who think he is too conservative and those who think he is too Liberal, so at most, only 8% of Liberals think the President isn't Liberal enough. Half those people seem to have come here and recced this OP.
I also dont have a lot of patience for people who refuse to learn from massive recent mistakes. The whole "X Democrat isn't much better or better at all than Y Republican" meme should have been dead and buried after it was made in reference to Gore and Bush and people realized THAT mistake. If someone was too obtuse to get that, nothing you or I say is going to make a dent, so I'm back to, again, what is the point of arguing with these folks?
