The Pragmatic Leftist is a dangerous beast. A rare phenomenon; this particular political animal differs from other leftists, who tend to be under-researched, over-zealous neo-Marxists afflicted with a sense of moral superiority. The Pragmatic Leftist, on the other hand, actually knows what they’re talking about. They can use their smarts to trick you into believing you’ve lost an argument when in fact you haven’t. 

This unique breed of leftie is well-educated.
