Reply #48: Ahh, so now it's fellow Dems... not fellow progressives?

I suspect a Freudian slip... Dem != progressive now.

No, I'm not willing to support "fellow Dems." if it means tacit acquiescence to de facto racist policy. If a "fellow Dem" is caught up in the effects of a boycott... they should either understand why the boycott is happening, or come up with enough votes to make it unnecessary, or leave the area of the boycott. If the "fellow Dem" is a progressive, that is. If the "fellow Dem" just wants everyone to nod and wink, like the founding fathers did regarding slavery, then the "fellow Dem" doesn't qualify as a progressive in my lexicon.

Go ahead and take your state back. Until you do I'm not spending money in your general direction. Some cop might decide I look more like my immigrant father than my non-immigrant mother... or maybe just use it as an excuse to hassle me because I rub him/her the wrong way.

Go talk to yourself and your fellow Az-ers about progressivism... I don't feel any need to defend my choices on this topic.
