- Too many progressives and politicians are still using old-school divide-and-conquer tactics. They're slinging mud, scheming and using fear tactics. It's no surprise that these strategies play a large hand in the fact that people are so frustrated and disheartened with politics. The sad thing is that these tactics go against every ideal that leads to progress: inclusion, reason, justice and hope. Unfortunately, old habits die hard, but that's where I come in. As a reformed "stomp my feet in my office and alienate those with opposing views" type of politician, I understand that change isn't always easy and that, like building successful coalitions, it can take blood, sweat and tears. My book, Unite and Conquer, demonstrates how through small changes in our attitudes and behaviors, we can build broad-based coalitions that advance the progressive movement rather than make us feel good about the purity of our ideals.
I have to say, from a nominal interest point of view, the Governor looks pretty good in all of this, and it does seem the fault of the Republican leadership's inability to get beyond ideology.
