    Are you a liberal?

    If not, why wouldn’t you throw your support behind a leftist or progressive candidate at least until the primaries are over? I am 100% for not letting perfect be the enemy of the good, but I am also against letting mediocrity be the enemy of the good.

      Because the next step is more important that the perfect step. Sander’s and people like him can’t win right now. I want to support progress and sometimes that means smaller steps.
