      Who said anything about being conservative? Interesting to falsely equate leftism with self-defeatist pyrrhic victories though. I’m pretty far left; I just understand the nature of entropy.

        I’m surprised you haven’t used the word pragmatic yet. It’s been nearly a decade since Dems and Hillary kept saying we need a pragmatic approach. We’re still not even getting crumbs at this point.

          In fairness I was very close to using that word but figured I’d spare you… This time.

          I agree the Clinton third way narrative pushed the Overton window and allowed conservatives to control the narrative for decades. I don’t view Kinzinger and the like speaking her to be that, however.
