[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Pragmatic progressive" is an oxymoron. [/quote] They used to be called traditional liberals. People who espoused liberal ideas but knew you couldn't blow up the world to get what you want. They took an incremental approach that was easier to implement, and generally more successful.[/quote] This. It's the Hilary Clinton approach, as compared to Bernie Sanders. Genuinely believe in progressive ideals, but cynical enough about people to know you are never going to convince a majority to choose progressive policy all at once-- you have to walk them into it slowly, convincing them it is in their self-interest as you go.[/quote] Yes the Hillary approach. Then kill all of the people around you who have dirt on you and Bill. [/quote]
