The Flint Water Crisis is a Direct Result of The Professional Left's Contempt for Pragmatism

excerpt:
So who brought us the Michigan child poisoning crisis? Republicans did. Leftist ideologues who beat up on the president every chance they got did. Those who choose revolution over progress did. Those who ignore the fierce urgency to do whatever is possible now in favor of the pipe dream of an ideologically pure revolution did.

That is why all the candidate of these revolution-peddlers could do in response to the crisis is call for the resignation of the governor of the state (so much for changing the system, I guess), whereas another candidate sent in her campaign team to investigate and help, and used her media commanding powers to put the crisis on the front page.

But. She's a pragmatist.
