(55,981 posts)"And your response is typical of the "if we just criticize EVERYTHING, everyone will want to listen to us!1!!one" mindset alot of people on this site unfortunately possess." Pretty sweeping statement. Can you elaborate on what is criticized without justification?
" Instead of turning a critical eye to how liberals present themselves and their ideals, you AS USUAL want to whine about corporations and "corporatists." I am curious how liberals present themselves and their ideals as wrong or inappropriate. Can you elaborate on that statement. Also, is whining about corporate control of Congress a bad thing?
As far as this statement, "your lofty and mostly laughable ideals of what a liberal should be." is part of a long sentence but is a statement and stands on it's own. But it's you in the post that explains how liberals arent meeting your standards. But of course you wont elaborate on what those standards are.
"That may be enough for the "more liberal than thou crowd", but the rest of us are looking for a hell of a lot more. " Really, you are looking "for a hell of a lot more?" Can you give an example?
And your attempts at controlling the discussion thru ridicule is unlike a "politically liberal person", which I assume you are.
