Just gonna respond to one part of your post.
You are scaring me a bit following me. This is the third time you have dug up my posts to make a point, when in fact you need to reread cause you are waaaay of base.
Okay.

In January you argued quite forcefully that she was not a progressive.
You were very determined to make that point..[here]

Gonna add my posts here so all can read where I forcefully (your words) said she wasn't a progressive admired Pressley and her endorsement by our AG Maura Healey.
We will start here, mel.

Awesome win, I agree. She was not in my district so was not able to vote for her.

112. This woman was a HUGE ENDORSEMENT
Ayanna Pressley Just Landed a Huge Endorsement: Maura Healey
Once thought of as kind of a long shot, Ayanna Pressleys bid for long-term incumbent Michael Capuanos seat in Congress is looking pretty formidable right about now. Maura Healey, Massachusetts influential Attorney General, announced Monday morning that she is backing Pressley in the primary.
Ayanna isnt just my City Councilor. Shes not just my partner in government. Shes someone who shares our values, and our priorities, who Ive depended on for years, Healey wrote in a statement she shared on Twitter. She added: Ayanna stood by me and supported me in my first campaign, at a time very few elected leaders were willing to take a chance on an outsider candidate like me.

As you stated, nothing on Ayanna's page. I have tried google...nothing, George

14. Also endorsed by our AG Maura Healey.
I have the utmost respect for Healey. No mention of them on her site? Not surprised, they all just want to jump on her win.
Thanks, seaglass.
Late and gonna go. NOWHERE did I argue she was not progressive, forcefully or otherwise. Just because I don't trust JD does not mean I don't like the candidate or support her. Not my district and I can't vote for her. However I voted for Healey. Maura Healey first openly gay AG supports her and so do I.
As I said to you before as you follow me around, I am not into labels, that is your thing. I don't need a label to define me. I am a Democrat. Period. Full Stop.
Now I ask you, melman to back off and stop researching me and my posts and leave the hell alone. Stalking is not good. Not good at all.
