could prove to me, preferably in bold numbers that his thesis regarding the president's support or lack thereof for "progressives" would have changed the outcome of the midterms. Conservative Dems lost, moderate Dems lost, and progressive Dems lost as well. I just asked for something other than rhetorical flourish to back up the poster's claim.
And for the record, I would say that getting a healthcare bill passed, something that the last Democratic president failed to do, was a huge achievement for this president and Congress. And what you might call "appeasement", more rational & less ideological people might call "pragmatic". If one is mired in dogma, whether it be conservative or progressive, you're unwilling to give an inch, so therefore anyone who does, is somehow seen as spineless. That's a very dangerous place to be, especially when we should all be working together for the greater good.
