. . . doesn't matter if it comes from someone claiming to represent 'progressivism.'

You know absolutely nothing about what the WH has proposed or are willing to accept outside of what you were told by the media. That same media that regularly lies to us is now being held up by criticisms like yours as purveyors of the gospel truth. What a joke!

And you throw this bull about capitulation out there like it's a forgone conclusion; WITHOUT ANY PROOF AT ALL; NONE OUTSIDE OF THE COMPROMISED PRESS; NONE OUTSIDE OF THE 'DETAILS' PROVIDED BY AN UNNAMED AND UNAFFILIATED SOURCE!

And this is what you hold up as some moral superiority over the President; and presumably over anyone who dares defend or support him. I think your brand of politics is dishonest and quite despicable.
