    Sanders and progressives also endorsed him ahead of the picks, mind you…

    He was moderate in the House and far more progressive as Governor. Hence why both groups like him.

        That he’s a uniter in the party. He was somewhat moderate as a House Rep but routinely worked with progressives who loved him, but then proved himself to fight for progressive policies as Governor.

        So look at his record as Governor. AOC endorsed him, too, what so we make of that? You’re making a big deal about nothing.

          9 out of 10 Americans don’t really give a shit who endorsed him until you tell them he’s a radical and the socialists love him. And, he isn’t.

            Ok? Nobody here said he was socialist. You were arguing against the notion that he is center-left, which he is. Progressives and moderates both relate to him. Hence… Center-left.

              Just wait, they will. AOC and Machin endorsed. I’d say that is the entire spectrum. So, whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy.
