In terms of personal philosophy I'm pretty much for social democracy. There really is hardly anything that would be too liberal for me when it comes to a wishlist. I also live here in reality and I think that the only hope for progress is to try to bring the country to the left little by little and I think the president is doing what he can in that regard. I don't think that every compromise is out of desire to give on one point or other. I also think he's provided the only workable model for moving forward by winning elections.

I read more than I post, but it's good to have one place where Democrats support the Democratic president.
