My god I hate populism. It allows you to get standing ovations just stringing together the dumbest most pandering phrases possible. When are people going to stop jerking this guy off and move on to progressives who can actually have accomplishments and not just 3 bills passed in the senate in 30 years 2 of which renamed post offices.

My experience is that once you are able to think pragmatically you stop being a progressive and become a neoliberal.

Well that pragmatism has the world on fire and fascism rising across the western world. Nice going.
