Reply #6: If the "action liberals" were actually effective in enacting "liberal" policies

[Crunchy Frog]

ie, policies that actually improve things for the majority of society, I would be more aligned with them. I don't see them being effective in enacting good policy, just trying as hard as they can not to rock the boat and going along to get along. For that reason I cannot say that I identify with them.

What I wouldn't give for a pragmatic liberal politician who was actually good at getting things accomplished.
