"Wisconsin has definitively exposed the failure of the American left to build an effective populist movement despite the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. The Wisconsin recall vote was a battle at a time and place of the unions’ own choosing. They still lost, and in one of the bluest states of non-coastal America. Who’ll fear them now? Say what you will about the Tea Party, it collected scalps. The unions plus Occupy plus the remnants of the ‘08 Obama campaign have not. Perhaps that will change if a Republican wins the White House - but until and unless the left loses that fight too, we won’t know."
I mean he’s not wrong. There’s a lot of ineptitude here.
