Clinton-Era Official Says Left Should Lead Following Center-Right Failures
"A Clinton-era centrist Democrat explains why it’s time to give democratic socialists a chance"
“Barack Obama rolls into office with Mitt Romney’s health care policy, with John McCain’s climate policy, with Bill Clinton’s tax policy, and George H.W. Bush’s foreign policy,” DeLong notes. “And did George H.W. Bush, did Mitt Romney, did John McCain say a single good word about anything Barack Obama ever did over the course of eight solid years? No, they fucking did not.”
