From a guy whose self-promotionalism and inane pro-Democrat non-strategies (like "safe states" and "ABB") have driven hundreds, if not thousands, of people away from progressive movements and pretty much killed off any promise the Greens ever had. “And act on your beliefs no matter what the cost.

Time that with this strange excuse Pardoned Kipling and his views, And will pardon Paul Claudel, Pardons him for writing well. WH Auden Time that is intolerant
Of the brave and the innocent,
And indifferent in a week
To a beautiful physique,
Worships language and forgives
Everyone by whom it lives;
Pardons cowardice, conceit,
Lays its honours at their feet.
Time that with this strange excuse
Pardoned Kipling and his views,
And will pardon Paul Claudel,
Pardons him for writing well.

WH Auden
