"Jeff Cohen: Illusions about Obama and the myth of the need for bipartisanship are reasons why progressives and liberals must have a vigorous debate - there really is no choir."
From The Real News
I think Paul Jay makes a good point here when he says that there really isn't any one position on anything, at least as far as what to actually do and what the final policy should be, on any given issue that's debated in America, on the Left (or as I would call it, the Far-Left of American Socialists) in America.
But, when you only talk to yourself and I'm talking about people who already tend to agree with you on the major political issues, and you are buried in the minority politically, even in your own political party (which is where the Far-Left is in the Democratic Party) you are not going to move forward. You either have to convince members of your own party that are more moderate than you, that they're simply wrong, or you have to moderate your own positions, if you want to accomplish anything politically.
