Just so readers know I'm not the only one who thinks the Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot this election, Democratic strategists James Carville just gave a blunt interview to the liberal Vox site which can be read here. Carville was Bill Clinton's lead political strategist in his campaign, among other highly successful efforts, and he really knows his stuff. I think his points are right on.
And as long as I am recommending things, with Bernie Sander's momentum building, let me recommend a very good piece back in December by David Brooks entitled I Was Once a Socialist,Then I Saw How It Worked. He is quite accurate about the failing of socialism. Like all utopian ideas, socialism doesn't take account of human nature, which is why it is always inefficient and eventually corrupt.
Thoughts and observations about the world condition.
