No More Strawpeople, Please

Greg Sargent lays out for the White House "the various arguments that people on the left are actually making."

I would personally argue that there are, in fact, only two groups—Sargent's second and third categories. His first category falls into the same trap Biden et. al. have, which is assuming that rank and file Democratic voters are insufficiently enthusiastic for vague reasons, instead of the same reasons that "high-profile commentators" and "progressive operatives" are.

Otherwise, good stuff.
