For the first time in years I am going to direct you to an article at The New Republic. Jonathan Cohn has something to say that you should hear. Here’s a teaser:
…consider what happened after the climate change vote in the House last year. When Democrats went back to their districts, conservatives pummeled them–in person and on the air–while liberals just shrugged. And consider what happened after the health care bill passed: Conservatives went into overdrive about socialized medicine, while liberals kept talking about what a lousy bill it was.
It needs to be repeated. So, I’ll keep repeating it. We’re in a brutal brawl, but, ironically, the left and the right are largely on the same side of the fight.
