But Mr. Obama, instead of emphasizing the harm done by the other party’s rule, likes to blame both sides for our sorry political state. And in his speeches he promises not a rejection of Republicanism but an era of postpartisan unity.
That — along with his adoption of conservative talking points on the crucial issue of health care — is why Mr. Obama’s rise has caused such division among progressive activists, the very people one might have expected to be unified and energized by the prospect of finally ending the long era of Republican political dominance.
After studying economics for 6 years, which availed me of the merits of free markets, I have circled back to the conclusion that, overall, Democrats will benefit most people in the long run far more than Republicans. I chronicle my observations in this blog.
