But They’ve Forgotten the SteakSoy Patty.
Kevin Drum of CalPundit fame asks why is George Soros and and company are Getting Their Act Together when they don’t seem to have a central message that binds them together.
From his article:
I guess I’m a little surprised that the story of how movement conservatism and its associated money machine rose from the ashes of Barry Goldwater’s 1964 campaign is still news to anyone, but I guess it is. And apparently Stein has put the the story together in a uniquely understandable way that makes light bulbs go off for a lot of potential activists.
But what really surprised me is that in an 8,000-word story about these people, there wasn’t so much as a single sentence about what they believe in. It’s all about the infrastructure and the fundraising and the message machine — but nothing about the message itself. What are they doing all this work for?
Italics in the original.
Good question. What binds them together is progressivism. Exactly what that really means is left as an exercise to the voter.
As a note, I’ve bookmarked the original article that Kevin Drum refers to and plan to comment on it later.
