La Lioness Priyanka

(53,866 posts) Fri May 12, 2017, 04:21 PM May 2017

I would have preferred if Heath Mello had won, even if he was antichoice [View all]

However, after months of being lectured about how democrats cannot be anything less than completely progressive and that non progressive dems need to be primaried (like Manchin), it was really rich to see the same people defend Mello.

That is all.

Given the choice between a Democrat and a non Democrat, I will always pick the Democrat.

I am just tired of BS internally inconsistent lectures about what is and is not progressive, and what is and is not the future of the Democratic party.
