    Ah okay what a shame. Most go through this phase in their late teens and early twenties and then shortly after recognize the bigger picture.

        Who said anything about being conservative? Interesting to falsely equate leftism with self-defeatist pyrrhic victories though. I’m pretty far left; I just understand the nature of entropy.

          I’m surprised you haven’t used the word pragmatic yet. It’s been nearly a decade since Dems and Hillary kept saying we need a pragmatic approach. We’re still not even getting crumbs at this point.

            In fairness I was very close to using that word but figured I’d spare you… This time.

            I agree the Clinton third way narrative pushed the Overton window and allowed conservatives to control the narrative for decades. I don’t view Kinzinger and the like speaking her to be that, however.
