is left-leaning. Listen with that in mind.

I used to consider myself a person on the left. I was not able to continue listening to her. I found her too extreme.

There are plenty of opposing opinions about BS. Research some of those opinions, and consider the sources of those opinions. There are plenty of solid Democrats who have never cared for Sanders. Since I would like to be able to continue posting on DU, I will keep my opinions to myself. I have seen good people leave DU over this topic.

Have you Googled Progressive International? I have a feeling you are smart enough to do some of the research and figure out how you feel about this organization and Sanders' partnership in it. Is Sanders deeply involved in this? Or, has he loaned his name to something he may now have reservations about doing?

I don't know. I supported Buttigeig and and Biden. Maybe after Biden has retired, our country will be grown up enough to support an openly gay President.
