An article written by an idiot, to an entire party of idiots.

What this Euro-idiot doesn't seem to grasp is that if the "American left" really told people what they believed and what their goals were, they would never win another important election, including Lord Dog Catcher.

Their timidity and vacuousness is not a result of their having no values, but is actually the result of having to hide their real values while still attacking their opponents, lest they be found out. Unlike Europeans, a majority of Americans DON'T LIKE LEFTISTS, and WON'T VOTE FOR THEM. It's really no more complicated than that. The Euro-leftists are "braver" than their American counterparts simply because they can often win elections by telling people what they really think. The Dems don't have that luxury, and haven't since Vietnam.
