Let It Sink In

Dan O'Brien: A lot of the despair of left people or people who say I'm a socialist can mean a bunch of different things. He says if you think you're one of them, you probably have had this experience. "I don't want to be with a crazy sect where they just sit around and read Bob of Akian" 'We won't get any farther ahead by entertaining illusions and wishful thinking,' he adds. "'It's the death of politics.' That's what needs to happen first. Let it sink in."
