I greatly enjoyed Kos' Conservatives don't really want the truth. But I was wondering - where do we, Progessives, have the same blindspots as the Romney Campaign?
We can't be perfect, right? Part of rational skepticism means questioning your own presumptions. I'd be nervous about a movement that claimed to have all the answers.
Don't interpret this to mean we're as bad as this guy. I would like to hear where Progressive 'orthodoxy' could have the facts wrong, or at least incomplete? Where are our inconvenient truths?
So please offer your suggestions on where the progressive movement has the facts wrong. Where are our assumptions unfounded? Hopefully this will help us get a more accurate understanding of the social and political reality around us. I never want to look like these people.
My belief (unfounded assumption alert!) is that a more rational, fact-based, and pragmatic movement is more effective. We don't (we can't) have a total monopoly on science, on facts.
