That's Douthat's take. He says any major political reform is likely "too big to reform" since we're all special interests.
He does have some good points, namely that last one, above all, but I think he's too pessimistic. I also think he lets Obama and Congressional Democrats too much off the hook.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
