(82,383 posts)37. But when it's Obama or someone else
They are expected to be against all military involvement. I remember posts on DU that "if Obama escalates in Afghanistan (which he'd said he'd do) he's lost my vote." And calling Obama a warmonger for anything he did, be it Libya, Syria, etc. So those same people had best condemn Bernie for this or they are hypocrites.

From reading stuff here on DU I would assume near perfection is required to be a real progressive.

I find it comical that those who sneer at us lefties for engaging in "purity" politics
