1. You don't see the problem with insisting we must run progressive canididates and

then saying, but anti-choice is fine? and Bernie did say according to the New York times that Mello was a rising star. No anti-choice candidate should be deemed a rising star in this party period. The Democratic leaders mentioned were responding to the endorsement of Mello, They will at some point explain or walk back those statements in my opinion. Are we going to throw women's rights under the bus if a candidate has the 'correct' (Sanders?)view on economic policy? A candidates positions on social justice issues (including but not limited to abortion rights) are now irrelevant? Abortion rights are essential for women in economic terms...and we will never have economic justice by ignoring the rights of 50% of the population. Civil rights which include women's rights are not negotiable and we will not be relegated to the back of the political bus.
