41. Yes, he said "progressives". Progressives want a POTUS who will stand up for the working people.

Who will fight for their constitutional rights. Who will not keep signing more free trade agreements that hurt American citizens. Who will be transparent, as he promised he would be. and a bunch of other principles that progressives stand for that he does not. We don't want a POTUS who is center.

The corporate Dems might like that Obama is center on the political spectrum and defend him for it but the Dems who actually stand by their principles and all the things the Dem Party is supposedly about do not.

And trying to define progressives as Putin lovers is really low and childish. We've been down that road already and it's tired and worn out. Not to mention it's right out of the RW playbook.

So there is that.
