In reply to the discussion: Hypothetical Question: Would Obama and the Clintons be as successful if they were actually Liberal? [View all]Liberal_Stalwart71
(20,450 posts)But I don't call President Obama or President Clinton "phony" or resort to other epitaphs because they aren't liberal enough. Would I have liked for them to be more progressive. Sure. And maybe they are but can't push for more liberal policies due to the political climate that they are forced to operate in. Regardless of the reason, I understand the facts.
I do find it interesting that you took the lame "conservative" route. It's YOU who started this thread about "phony liberals". That's precisely what they do on the right. They are also excellent at PROJECTION: accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of. Don't do that.
At least I invite ALL perspectives in the Democratic Party. I may not agree with them all. I may even hate the fact that the Progressive Caucus--the largest caucus in the Democratic Party--has no power. I hate that. But I don't go around accusing fellow Democrats of being phony. Again, that's what the wingnuts do. We should be above that here on DU.
