This is what you get

Yesterday, I used the temperamental and mysterious Haloscan to write a comment about the Obama cultists and their fixation on personality/identity politics. The comment finished thusly.

In '92, (Bill) Clinton sold the same bullshit "youth movement" feel-good crap that Obama is selling now.

............


But I don't think the cultists understand this. So I don't think I'm wrong to say that much of what we're seeing here is a campaign built on bullshit. At some point a price is paid for that. Whether it comes due before the election or during a failed first term is pretty much all we're waiting to learn.


One day later, we find we are knee-deep in a campaign based on personality and identity politics bullshit. (link via Oyster) Yet another way in which these "exciting" Democratic candidates are "good for America."
