Progressives.

I don't need to wear the label on my chest to pronounce to the world who I am.

I don't need to sell my brand. I know who I am. I don't think you need to keep telling people over and over again that you ARE a progressive. Look at me. Listen to me! I know. Only I can show you the way. Me!

Nope. Sorry.


You will know me by my deeds and not a label as we will know you.

I'm already tired of the purity patrol, she. I am a Democrat. Period.

I am a Democrat. We vote for Democrats every dayum time.

We know who we are, our policies that we have held dear and fought for all our lives are suddenly new again or better yet, theirs. Never thought of before. I am so over this.

From the 2016 GE some progressives told voters not to vote for the GE candidate. They told them to write in or not vote at all. THAT IS NOT PROGRESSIVE.

Once upon a time, I was a "moderate". The goal posts changed somewhere around the time of Moonbase Newt and suddenly I was a "leftist". If they move those damned posts any more, I'll probably end up out of bounds.
