Rather daft and naive of Jacobin

The Left and Right have very different ideals and tactics. The Right is in disarray and fucked up, not the Left.

I think they’re controlled opposition, a little hope lightning rod for the left/progressive people, only to bend to the establishment when they encounter any pressure, even in symbolic vote situations. Sad. Low Energy. Disappointing.

I will be anxious to see if any of these concessions ever see the light of day, especially the one about voting for term limits. That one item could fix moat of the problems in Washington.

Don’t worry the republicans won’t do anything they just won. They’ll cooperate with the democrats to destroy this country.

They introduced it and did not the votes to pass it.
