At the very least, even if you think both the decision to ghost Vox on the interview and trash them for platforming Warren were good strategies, THE SAME PERSON CAN'T DO BOTH That's the most basic, fundamental reason the national press secretary can't be the Twitter assassinhttps://twitter.com/jkfecke/status/1250446239197540355 …

See the "Deaniacs" in 2004 I guess we could argue over whether Obama actually was this in 08 (I don't think he was, I think he just let himself be a Rorschach blot for a lot of people)
-
obama absolutely was a rorschach blot; it's why he was so successful on the campaign trail. "hope and change" really is a very vague slogan! people projected their own hopes onto him, then got disappointed when that turned out to be projection.

It's too bad we didn't have a candidate who both looks like and acts like a reformer...
-
it's true, there was no candidate at all who had the zeal of a tribune married to the heart of a reformer will our nation ever see such a person? one can only hopepic.twitter.com/VTkCp86hpD

i mean, i think there's pretty strong evidence that democrats basically like to elect reformers? and that's not even a bad thing? you want the radicals on the outside, forcing the reformers on the inside to create good, durable progress.
-
more strongly, you *can't* hold office and be a radical. the entire function of radicalism is to ignore what is possible in favor of what is necessary. but if you're in office and you actually want to get anything done, you cannot not take the limits of possibility into account

He's not actually doing that. He always sold himself as a rigid ideologue and radical, he just was unfairly pushed as a hidden reformer by some of you in order to make him a bit more pallatable.

Dude spent decades refusing to join the Democratic party even though he caucuses with them, votes like them 99% of time, maj of his votes are from VT dems and has tried running for president for this party - twice. All because Dem party doesn't label itself as "socialist".
