This piece makes me wonder about the conflation and interchangeability of “progressive” and “leftist” https://twitter.com/elainejgodfrey/status/1306214195059458050">https://twitter.com/elainejgo...

“By most definitions, McElwee is a leftist.”

“He no longer talks about eliminating Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Instead, he’s become an evangelist of political persuasion and coalition-building.”

I genuinely hate that this exists in a profile freely describing someone as a leftist who’s also started talking less about “moonshot progressive goals” lol

So this is Nate Silver but for “progressive” electoral politics?

Sorry, establishment Democrats actively sabotaging and trying to undermine more progressive campaigns and politicking under a banner of smarmy do-nothing civility aren’t “doctrinarian”? Gimme a break
