How about we give them all praise and stop being needlessly divisive? All three did a good thing last night. All three deserve praise. It isn’t a competition. Being reflexively contrarian is just as mindless as the thing being criticized. This constant criticism of everything good for not being quite good enough is an empty rhetorical tactic that advances nothing of substance. Progressives need to move past this knee-jerk postmodern criticism, which is a *method* more than a principle, and focus back on advancing a real, concrete meaningful sets of principles again. Let accomplishments speak for themselves.
