Please, progressive politicians: if you get called out for your own controversial statements or those of your associates, and those statements are *right*, stand behind them. The intifada is global, ICE should be abolished, and Thanksgiving is a colonizer holiday. You already lost them; don't lose us, too.

kinda? they should say what they think is right and not change that depending on the audience or primary vs general etc. but without a better media environment and reforms like ending gerrymandering and final five ranked choice voting and finding a way to get everyone eligible to vote, doing so means my people are going to lose. just keeping us probably doesn't mean much at the governmental level today. so they play a different game to prevent the worst outcomes. it all sucks.
@wjmaggos I think that it's pretty clear that the progressive politicians who don't chicken out do the best.
