I’m talking takes that make them immediately throw out the civility fetish and reach for the most crying wojack buzzwords in their vocabulary

    Great encapsulation of Obama's playstyle.

    Being too timid to speak out in favor of gay marriage despite it being the big domestic social issue at the time (esp. among progressives). But he doesn't want to support gay marriage because that doesn't triangulate in the Midwest or what the fuck ever.

    So he plays it safe, then loses the House anyway, then gay marriage becomes legal anyway. maybe that's not the exact sequence of events but lol
