    re: progressives vs. conservatives. there are 2 X as many of the latter as former in america. that’s a pretty straightforward issue, and doesn’t require too much deep thought. that being said, pound-for-pound progressives seem to get stuff done, don’t they? ACA? i guess you might think they’re underperforming, but as a right-winger i personally am pretty impressed by the changes which 20% of the american population can drive.
