inserting your words here: What parts of our platform aren't they agreeing with? There isn't jack shit about platforms in the blogger's piece, any more than there is mention of Rand Paul- what there IS, is, mention of "weed", gingham shirts, and Bernie Sanders, along with the cognitive-dissonance inducing assertion that these "Brogressives" are "fiscally conservative" (at the same time, remember, that they're sporting Obama stickers and supporting Bernie Sanders).
my response as follows.
Under the section where we were supposed to circle which aspects of progressive politics interested us, I glanced at his paper, only to see he chose every possible answer except for "Racial Justice," LGBTQ Rights," and "Women's Rights."

Let's demand he explain his inconsistencies, and fiercely explain that his "socially liberal stance" (read: he likes weed) means nothing if he remains "fiscally conservative." We, the friends and loved ones of the Brogressive, need to collectively remind him of his downright hurtful understanding of society and politics before he makes that run for office.

(insert my opinion, most especially this part)
And if you, the Brogressive, are reading this, all we ask is that you take a few minutes, and without playing Devil's Advocate, listen to what we are saying.
