9. Bernie and Octavio make a wonderful team, don't they?

And I have some terse Anglo-Saxon words for the corporate stooges in media who insist on calling Progressives -- and Bernie and AOC - radical leftists. Of course, by characterizing them and their movement as extreme, these stooges who pretend at journalism are actually working to prevent anyone on the right from switching to the Dems and, perhaps, scaring some Dems to either join the Corporate Fascists of the GOP or simply retire from the fray and just not vote for anyone -- but then isn't that the whole point of their propaganda?

Question for the table: has Chris Hayes or Rachel Maddow ever characterized the Progressive movement as "radical" or "extremist" or, for that matter, even "Leftist?"

Progressives, of course, are the Party of the People, the real American people, the educated, compassionate, intelligent, giving American people. They represent and support something that is not only NOT extreme or radical, but is the very heart of what America likes to think of itself as being about.
