Analysis: Liberal critics want Democrats to adopt the losing tactics of the congressional GOP. Um... why?
We’ve got a budget deal, it seems, and conservatives are in their usual state of incredulousness that a Republican president and Senate have been squeezed by Democrats to concede spending increases. But this time, progressives are having the vapors as well.
Yet instead of assessing the deal on what it would accomplish for real people in the present, naysayers on the left are wrongly viewing it purely through a political lens, and a cloudy one at that. Obama established a principle during that standoff: “We can’t make extortion routine as part of our democracy. Democracy doesn't function this way. And this is not just for me; it’s also for my successors in office. Whatever party they’re from, they shouldn’t have to pay a ransom either for Congress doing its basic job. We've got to put a stop to it.” That’s true even when Donald Trump is president.
