Triangulation SUCKS! especially for Progressives-
Triangulation on every issue equals no position. Triangulation equals corporation speak. Triangulation on many issues is illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional.
Personally: Can we trust a triangulating Progressive? Are we supposed to parse every word they say - like Pravda readers - and hope for the best? Is that leadership? Is that humanity?
As Confucius said: "When words lose their meaning - people will lose their liberty."
I believe the tension between everyone's Democratic (ideal) and Republican (ideal) tendencies is the only thing that allows us to adjust to changing conditions.
Balanced interests- not monopolistic blocks - are the heart of our Democratic Republic. No true leaders and a lack of personal involvement drives us straight into the arms of privately funded interests which inevitability get taken over by criminals and fascists.
It's a war for public attention -and a thin tepid trickle isn't very attractive.
Donning the tinfoil hat- JFK, RFK, MLK y mucho mucho mas. I'm only saying it sucks, and it does.

This is a big part of our ongoing problem with congress and exactly how the neo-cons stole their party from anyone with any morals.
