Obama definitely and dramatically has stopped giving lots of people the pleasurable adrenaline he used to give them. For me, this is an improvement. The question becomes how to achieve liberal change while also dealing with the problem of political adrenaline addiction. A traditional approach has been to harness the adrenaline and rally a mob – the memory of Paul Wellstone has become like the memory of Che Guevarra, for this approach – but, seriously, we cannot keep on doing things this way. History will endlessly repeat itself, while the climate melts down and destroys our civilization.
