Rashida Tlaib Is the Left's Way Forward

3. Can we stop the BS of calling her a "progressive"

Obama is a progressive. Pelosi is a progressive.

Too many here equate "far-left" w/ progress, when in actuality, progress has happened incrementally, once the Center of the political spectrum accepts what is being proposed: Medicaid, The Clean Water Act, Medicare, etc.

This future Congresswoman might be gr8, but she is not more of a progressive than Hillary or Obama--she is just left of them. And BTW, according to PEW, 40% of the electorate said Obama was too far left for them to support. 80% said bernie was too far left.

Obama won 2 elections, bernie, 0.
