As a movement, we'll never succeed in moving the nation leftward by engaging in dumb, kneejerk politics and by demonizing a president who is arguably the most sympathetic to progressivism in generations.

What went wrong with health care reform? Everything. Almost immediately, this debate was a diversion from the most pressing issue facing Americans -- an anemic economy with unemployment numbers never seen in our lifetime.

Pass health care reform via reconciliation the way George W. Bush rammed through his tax cuts. By November 2012, even the Tea Baggers will appreciate and defend their new-found health coverage.
Ariel Gonzalez | Posted 01.03.2010 | Politics
Progressives can be as bad as teabaggers, with their chronic dissatisfaction, ideological disdain for compromise, and limited understanding of historical precedent.

If you think Howard Dean has gone too far left on health care reform or Jane Hamsher has attacked Obama too hard from the left -- then, fantastic, you are now officially a moderate! And more importantly, so is Obama.

Deal Hudson appoints himself the arbiter of what is Catholic, and if you support health care reform that in any way might lead to an abortion paid for with public funds, you are not one.

Irrevocably, politics changed in the past 10 years because of technology in general and the Internet in particular. So here, in no particular order, are the decade's top moments in tech and politics.

I'm positive that Obama thinks that he's doing his best to bring about as much change as he can within the limits of this system. But is he a true progressive or a corporatist sell out?

Have you heard? Progressives who oppose the Senate health bill are the moral equivalent of mass murderers. That argument is actually being made - along with the charge, ironically enough, that they're being too emotional.

Over the past week, the media has trained its myopic eye on those in the progressive community who, having seen that the health care reform plan emerg...

Dean deserves much better from the left than what he got after calling for the health reform bill to be killed. His concerns as a physician and a progressive politician are worthy of serious attention.
Madeleine M. Kunin | Posted 12.21.2009 | Politics
Dean's assumption in asking Democrats to kill the Senate bill is that next time around, we'll get something better. I think we'll get nothing at all.

Here is your Christmas present -- a big lump of coal. You are ill and need help. You want the best. Whose wise counsel and help do you seek? You want someone who is sympathetic, skilled and competent.

Without dissing moderates whose votes he still needs, Obama could address progressive concerns by laying out his own disappointment about provisions that have been lost in the health bill.

I hope Howard Dean is reading, because I believe with a better understanding of the real reforms this bill brings to America's health care system, he will join me as a forceful advocate for its enactment.

It has become readily apparent that efforts to achieve health care reform in the Senate have become a disaster and effectively dead. This seems to be clear to everyone, with the exception of several senators.
