    I think you’ve got your fools mixed up. Unless I’m much mistaken, you’re talking about liberals. Not progressives. Certainly not the left.

    Since it’s all such a slurry if you’re looking over from a distance, maybe this’ll help: Liberals think of themselves as open-minded. They are, as long as all you mean by that is that the boards of major corporations and higher reaches of government should include the occasional brunette along with all the blondes.

    That open-mindedness doesn’t extend to anyone with, say, a rural address, a Southern accent, in need of dental work, or whose social class cannot be immediately established as at least upper-middle.

    Progressives would like to see people that need dental work get some. The left may well just be people that would like to get their teeth fixed, and haven’t yet fully accepted that will never, ever happen.

      There really needs to be a scorecard. It's so hard to keep track of the moving targets as politics-as-a-team-sport rapidly slides into outright insanity.
