    I don’t really know anything about this guy, but i highly doubt he was even ‘progressive’ in the first place? What exactly did he do before, just say nice things, hence being ‘progressive’? Whatever.

      He was (and still is to a certain extent) fairly progressive for a US politician. A look at his campaign issues page shows that he is pro LGBTQ rights, pro worker’s rights, pro gun control, pro Medicare, and so on.

      It’s really his outspoken and unequivocal support for Israel that has soured a lot of people on the Left.

        He was also super pro cannabis.

        OK then it is strange he’s going around saying he has been freed from progressivism.

        Do centrist democrats talk like this?
