Memo from the left

Here's what one fairly prominent leftist blogger hopes to be doing in the next four years, and I don't believe his thinking is unusual:

"As progressives, our job is to learn from Obama and FDR the political and rhetorical skills to push
back against whatever array of centrist (or right-centrist)
compromises the new administration is bound to make. If we do that
effectively, we can capitalize on the new mood of possibility amid a
landscape of increasing desolation and so push the nation toward
lasting structures of economic justice."

Are you ready to push back, conservatives???
