Again, quoting from a post on AMERICAblog, the passing of this health care bill is not going to sway the left in any fashion whatsoever. The bill is a watered down version of what true liberals and progressives have wanted to see. Granted, not passing the bill will be the death knell of the base of the Democratic party, and as reported on their blog, could even put off donations from big spenders to the Democratic party.
But the passing of this bill has nothing to do with the fact that the liberals and progressives have been, and still are, dissatisfied with this administration and it's backpedaling on issues that it ran on, and its failure to accomplish any real "change you can believe in."
Regardless of whether this bill passes, I'm still sitting out 2010. Fuck 'em.
