FeedsReplying to a comment on Jeff Merkley: A Progressive's Progressive
Do you mean from approved surrogates of the Merkley campaign, who called his opponent "petty," "backbiting" and self-serving? That's not progressive by anyone's standards.
I'm guessing Mark is referring to this, by State Representative Mary Nolan and State Representative Mitch Greenlick. They've worked with Jeff Merkley a long time and know the kind of man he is.
Actually, what they wrote is quite progressive. Calling for standing up for what one believes in no matter how politically unpopular it is, is as progressive as it gets. Asking for honesty and integrity for the process is too.
I thing perhaps "angry" and "bitter" is in the eye of the beholder. Mark's post above comes across as an example of that to me. But I'll bet he'd say that it isn't at all.
But then...progressives do tend to disagree on what is "most progressive", as I'm continually finding out. I'm guessing we'd disagree on other labels as well.
