In reply to the discussion: Why aren't the "progressives" who are going after Harris, Booker, Patrick, and Pelosi [View all]GaryCnf
(1,399 posts)Why the folks spreading this bogus meme are ignoring the fact that the same people who criticize Senator Harris, Senator Booker, and former Governor Patrick for their centrist positions are also criticizing white males who espouse centrist positions?
Oh, that's right, the meme isn't that leftists disagree with centrists and we should be having a discussion about whether we should be moving toward the center or the left. It's that the left (which has stood firmly behind choice in particular and gender equality in general for a century, whose black members - do I need to list them for you - were at the heart of the civil rights movement , and some of whose white members literally gave their lives in the backwoods of Mississippi) is controlled by misogynists and racists and we should be booting them from the Party.
