that not everyone within a political alignment thinks exactly the same on all issues.

Im for affirmative action, equal pay legislation, more oversight on wall st, extension of unemployment benefits, gay marriage rights, the right to choose regarding abortion, legalization of pot, universal healthcare, etc. While all these things tend to go lockstep with what people consider "the left", there are many things I disagree with "the left" on.

Right now, the way many on the left are treating the Bergdahl situation is one of the things I dont go lockstep with.
