Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Something is better than nothing. These things take time. You've got to give a little to get a little, progressives should sit down and shut up. Innuendo points to progressives being immature, unrealistic, unaware of how the real world works and radical. And so it goes.

Yet progressives seem to be the only ones who don't have a seat at the table. The people who don't want it at all have 3 big seats and they have been courted, catered to and wooed all the while they slow walk heath care to death. Transparency never made it's way to Cspan.

70% of Americans want a public option, the only voice they have is the one progressives are giving them. This is not the time for silence.
