(12,606 posts)I have seen DUers that are tired of the cheer leading echo chamber claiming such piffle and even more tired of said POTUS appointing such people as;
Penny Pritzker: (see banking failure),
Michael Froman: Citigroup (see Wall Street failure),
Tom Wheeler: (see venture capitalist and former communications-industry lobbyist),
and the close and until recent specter of Larry Summers:
supposedly representing the 99%...while appointing just the 1%.
As to your offering the suggestion that criticisms of said POTUS "could be dropped down on right-wing sites" I also and more accurately suggest that fawning admiration of said POTUS could have been "dropped down on right-wing sites" with just as much validity...meaning none. The only difference is party affiliation, but the exhortations remain roughly the same: lacking in substance.
The term "splinterist wreckers" could easily be applied to any partisan that will hold his leader above reproach and or criticism. They divide the party with their purist and puerile nature, and it is that very nature which undermines the party with calls of impurity, litmus tests and echo chambers.
The critics job is the hard path...the straight path, and we are doing exactly what the POTUS asked of us.
The partisan path is based on illusion and not asking questions: so very third way.
