Right. Cary Nov 2017 #22

That's not my personal definition, but... moriah Nov 2017 #59

Your logic and reason may be wasted on the radical left Cary Nov 2017 #61

I dislike the term "radical left" when placed in the context of DUers. moriah Nov 2017 #79

Any name one uses will be derogatory Cary Nov 2017 #81

It depends on who you're talking about, and what you mean. moriah Nov 2017 #99

WTGDF is the "radical left"? HughBeaumont Nov 2017 #98

Northam voted for Bush II twice...that is pretty moderate. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #91

Northam was not in politics then and said he was wrong. Periello was anti choice, and pro gun JI7 Nov 2017 #92

Perriello was endorsed by both Sanders and Warren and was viewed as to the left of Northam... Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #123

Yoy typed "Score a victory for moderates" FSogol Nov 2017 #41

I could be wrong, but I think it's a reference to who refused R B Garr Nov 2017 #42

Yeah. But the OP , should not let them decide who gets labeled what JI7 Nov 2017 #43

I really think it was not about the candidates, themselves, but who R B Garr Nov 2017 #46

Northam is a moderate progressive...and my family hails from Virginian...and voted for Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #88
