whether it's working or not. I've become increasingly suspicious and intolerant lately. Maybe I'm just more impatient. I've begun to mentally label more and more people as trolls, when in fact they're probably just angry Democrats (and in many cases, Clinton supporters who are hurting). I'm especially suspicious when people say things like, "You liberals are blah blah blah" or "The far-Left is hijacking the party and someone needs to put you in your place." That strikes me as RW-trollish behavior, but I try to keep in mind that most Clinton supporters aren't like me -- a lot of them are centrists and moderates, so maybe they really do resent liberals and progressives.
The people who are bashing affirmative action, talking about the evil Left-wing of the party, or calling CNN the "Clinton News Network" (which I actually saw someone do awhile back) are probably trolls. Beyond that, I can't always be sure.
What is so radical about Obama's platform? Is it the energy policy that emphasizes local/renewable production? Is it a return to pay-as-you-go fiscal discipline that balances the budget? Is it the attempt (however flawed) to provide health care to more Americans? Is it his plan (favored by most Americans) for a phased withdrawal from Iraq? Is it the attempt to increase grass roots participation in our Democracy, is that a radical far left principle?
What exactly is this 'far left' and why exactly should I be afraid of it. Please explain.
Thanks.
The people calling him an ultra-liberal/far-Left candidate are idiots. My guess is, most of them are Republican trolls who've been watching Faux News. They're getting their talking points from O'Reilly.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with the "far Left".
