for a description of how Dick Durbin and Nancy Pelosi day they support some Dems who don't share all of their views on women's reproductive rights.
Maybe some DU critics of Bernie (for what they see as his softness on women's reproductive rights) should attack these other great leaders too, and ask themselves how they could have ever regarded them so highly.
Or maybe they will remember that the perfect is the enemy of the good, and that politics is the art of the possible -- not the perfect.
Critics of Bernie on the Mello issue -- these Democratic leaders are speaking to you, and to all of us, and they certainly will do everything that they can to ensure that women's rights are maintained and expanded.
But first they need a majority in the House and Senate.
People demanding absolute purity -- like Susan Sarandon -- split the party and cost us elections.
And there is absolutely no doubt that some of Bernie's critics here are trolls, foreign or domestic.
