That is what Atrios and Ezra Klien conclude after reading this in today’s WaPo.
As moderate leaders, it is not our intent to water down the president’s agenda. We intend to strengthen and sustain it. Moderation is not a mathematical process of finding the center for its own sake. Practical solutions are practical because they offer our best chance to make a difference in people’s lives today without forcing our children to pick up the tab tomorrow.
Yeeeeeahhhhh….Okay.
Although, maybe Tom deserves a break. Having to explain why you are Democratic “a moderate” who wants to break with the Democratic President on his most important agenda items without coming flat out and saying that you vote as your donors tell you to vote must be kind of tough.
