"Having empathy for and supporting those who are disenfranchised, because of their political identity, may be politically correct, but it is a failed endeavor apparently."

BS threw him when he called the "aggressively anti-cholce"

candidate a "progressive" and dismissed Jon Ossoff the PRO CHOICE candidate.. But.."he isn't prepared to back Democrats just because of.. "a party label.."..

I'll decide what's "fake news".. thank you very much..

Why is BS touting an "aggressively anti-choice" candidate

over a Pro Choice candidate? It was Racism that motivated trump voters.

Abortion is the most progressive economic issue.

The Democrats unity tour fractured into disunity almost immediately after it began. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont refused to say whether Jon Ossoff, the Democratic candidate trying to win a typically Republican district in Georgia while being outspoken in support of abortion rights, counts as a progressive"

Yeah, that's what we've been sayin'

These men need to get woke..

Instead, these men contend, the party’s focus must be on economics. The glaring mistake they all make, however, is thinking that there is any way to disentangle reproductive rights from economic issues.

"Yet he would happily exclude from the progressive movement even those he formally supports, like Mr. Ossoff, who don’t seem to talk enough about income inequality to satisfy Mr. Sanders."

Tough.. it doesn't "satisfy" BS.

Well that's great.. But, Women are Standing up

for their Rights. It's not just some abstract battle going on.

We're discussing articles that have come out since all this burst on the scene.

BS is the one who gives the Purity Tests..

Sanders has most recently set out to define what it is to be progressive by refusing to campaign for Democrat Jon Ossoff in his contested congressional race in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. “He’s not a progressive,” Sanders told The Washington Post about Ossoff — who is pro-choice, supports increasing the minimum wage, is anti-war and supports immigration reform. Meanwhile, Sanders set off to campaign with Heath Mello, the Democratic nominee for mayor of Omaha, who has a strong anti-choice record including having introduced legislation restricting abortion, and was quick to call Mello a progressive.
