So it's a pile on by progressives of the most progressive candidate out there

[Armstead]

Apparently Bernie Sanders, who has spent his whole life fighting for social and economic justice, is not good enough for cettain contingents because he has not made Race the centerpiece of his campaign -- at least he has not packaged it in an acceptable way.

Therefore he is to be tossed into the trash heap of candidates who are not good enough to represent progressive positions.

Can soneone enlighten me as to who is acceptable? The bar keeps getting raised and shifted so I don't know who the hell is going to pass the litmus test.

Personally, Bernie has been my main man since way back, when he was one of a lonely handful of very rare progressives in the House. And even among them, he was often alone out there on the limb standing up for truly progressive issues...Back when it was a dirty secret to talk about what was really happening to Americas poor, working and middle classes.

It is so depressing that now some are condeming him for not being pure enough....

And as a lefty, I hate it when people pull that "purity" line...And here I am doing it.

It feels like falling down the rabbit hole.
