Perfect Seinfeld people would never bother to go to the trouble of actually reading the article, as obviously most posters on this thread didn't.
He wasn't talking about politics per se, but about a general attitude about life--eerily similar to that of many liberals.
I agree, the essay (I read about 2/3 of it) didn't seem to suggest that the show was propaganda for the DNC or anything, just that the characters displayed a lot of the same attitudes as real life liberals: selfish, picky, shallow, without direction, reactionary...

True. But the article (at least what of it that I read--too many Freepers trying to get on the server at once) also points out the show's use of Country Mouse vs. City Mouse theme (even if he didn't articulate it too well)...that urban liberals are totally unequipped to deal with with life in Flyover Country.
I got through 2/3 of it. The secret of good writing is to make your point in the first paragraph or two. This article rambles all over the place. Too long by half for the subject and unorganized. I would give it a C-.
