Why moderates are so often bad news

137. Want an example of a left idea that has no basis in reality?

Try abolishing corporate personhood.

Which would mean that corporations could not sue, be sued, enter into contracts (including employment contracts), and could be censored and have their property (including customer metadata) seized by the government without being able to object.

There's certainly a powerful argument for making distinct corporate persons from natural persons. But abolishing corporate personhood is a wacky idea.

If you want more, just take Ted Cruz's rhetoric about why conservatives failed to defund Obamacare in October and see how often one sees the left apply it to Democratic politicians, i.e. the only reason the attempt failed is that Senate Republicans didn't fight hard enough for it.

It's the exact same argument made by many who claim that the only reason we don't have single payer is because Obama, Reid and Pelosi didn't fight hard enough for it.
