I didn’t like it either. Why not say, “Of course, Democrats favor job creation too.” Or “Obviously, …”

Here's how I read it: An implication that jobs are not important to Dems which is ridiculous. I'll grant that jobs are not what's important to the Far Left, but they are a minority of electeds and registered voters. Most Dems care about jobs, so if that's his implication, it's false, at the very least misleading. Isn't the Bulwark not supposed to be doing that in their writing?

Of course, they're a noisy minority which is why right-wing media focuses on THE Left that is purportedly ruining the country. How does he not know the difference between center-Left liberals like me and many other Bulwark subscribers and the Progressive Left?
