This very tongue-in-cheek diary at Daily Kos pretty much sums up my thoughts on the current state of political affairs within the liberal/progressive base.

Some highlights:

• Turn once-liberal blogs into anti-Democratic, anti-Obama slanderfests, and dam the financial organs of the Party while the GOP has just secured unlimited funding via Citizens United.
• Blame President Obama when the Senate we elected refuses to pass sufficiently comprehensive legislation.
• After the election, we should insist the President should pretend that failure vindicates us, and that any acknowledgment of reality represents capitulation.
