Pandagon on “even the” liberals:
“Even the” liberals (putative liberals who say they still agree with the Democratic Party on most issues, but have decided to pull an elongated ego trip to gain some form of moral superiority over other/actual liberals) are quickly becoming the new libertarians of the blogosphere. A vastly outsized influence, a repetitious insistence that the only real problems are the fault of liberals who won’t do the right thing, and a rather self-absorbed view that the Democratic Party/the left/ liberals are responsible for shaping up for the handful of people who’ve decided that it’s their goal to convince everyone we’re the horrible ex-boyfriend who forgot their birthday.
If you don’t agree with whatever “liberal” position you’ve decided is just oh-so-reprehensible, fine. But stop blaming everyone else for the choices you made, and stop acting like you’re the fresh new unstoppable liberal model. You’re not new, you’re not innovative, you’re not original – there’s Republicans for Dean too, you know.
