The last refugee of a failed argument.

But let me memorialize that comment in it's entirity:

while only some progressives enjoy feeling aggrieved. In fact for some like you, being a progressive seems to revolve more around that than policy positions.

So, your basic ad hominem attack amplified by projection?

And thanks again for continuing to use such a broad brush to smear and vilify a vague and unspecified groupf of fellow Democrats here on DU, it continues to re-enforce the point of my OP.

Best regards,
