For "left wing communism," read any progressive minded person that's not addicted to the loco weed..... Going into the last election, it was just remotely possible that a black president might introduce a different and untried dynamic into American politics. Even then, it was clear to me that the best way to maximize what such a dynamic would deliver required the largest possible Nader or McKinney kick in the ass to Obama. I'm quite confident at this point that it wouldn't have mattered if we'd have gotten a million votes or a million each or five million. The president even ignores his own base. And as long as they are content to rationalize behaving as his unswervingly loyal base, they will have no impact other than being ignored. They are increasingly irrelevant....
