Go back to my Bill Clinton example. Democrats would not have kept their mouths shut if Bob Dole tried to cut safety net. Dole would not have tried. Democrats like you who sell your soul for a possible person on U.S. Supreme Court are the problem. Think back to George W. Democrats were yelling and protesting W. for his War in Iraq. Democrats en mass were silent regarding Obama and his Drone Wars, except Jeremy Scahill.
Why are you posting irrelevancies about Bob Dole? The choice is now. No real progressive would be okay with more conservative Supreme Court justices. If you aren’t fighting against that then you aren’t a progressive. Full stop.
You cannot define me. You find Bob Dole versus Bill Clinton irrelevant? Were you old enough to vote in 1996? It was Dole's bill to tie Farm Aid in with S.N.A.P. and W.I.C. Do not tell me about progressive. I am 100% on the economic left. If you do not find me pure on social issues, I am fine with that. Fast forward to today. We know Sanders ended his campaign today. I wish he had not. Those of us on the economic left had no right to expect Sanders at his age to fight until last man standing. Biden will have to move further toward economic left if he wants enough Sanders' supporters to win. Some of you Democrats only care about your social issues. Some of you believe being on the left for social issues makes you a progressive. If you are only on he left for social issues, you are not a progressive, you are a Limousine Liberal.
