54. My issue with Cenk...

Is that I feel he wants the Democratic Party to be fully progressive (or his form of it). While I consider myself a progressive. I fully understand that not everyone who is a Democrat is a full blown progressive. For example, I fully support abortion, and they may not after certain amount of time. But we both support banning of assault weapons. It does not mean that we're not both democrats, and that we both can not come to an understanding.
