@buermann I don't remember that! Seems maybe more defensible in that context. I remember it in the context of Obama's defenders mocking critics on the left for demanding the administration seriously try and perhaps fail to do things even if arguably "the votes aren't there" in Congress. We wanted a fighter on the bully pulpit. We were told we were delusional, children, as if Congress is fixed and struggles lost this time around don't affect thinkability and potential for progress going forward.
