What an excellent article from Sarah Jones!
The media never seems to get who the Obama coalition are they are not the far left. They never were. They are the people who care about the middle class, equal rights for all minorities, people who got turned by WMD, moderates and far left but pragmatic Democrats who understand that real change, lasting change, comes incrementally. They might not be as loud as the far left and no one is as loud as the far right, but they turned out to vote for this President and they are a reliable majority.
She is right, change does come in increments! We know this, we understand this.
Facts do matter Cha.
Thank you for this great OP~
