The whole production and everything about it seems to be exactly the same as Alex Jones only from a supposedly edgy liberal progressive angle.

I have always found them divisive for the left and counter productive to pursuing the ideals that are on the ENTIRE left’s agenda.

But it seems to me if someone isn’t ultra left wing progressive he just blasts them and lumps them in with Republicans

We need a better discourse and the people who can do it. I'm so tired of the me me me, all or nothing level of conversation these days. It's destructive and really divisive and creates infighting within the Dem party not to mention the country.

Trump and the republicans use that against us all the time.

why I hate litmus test of any kind being thrown around by too many democrats. We are a big tent party where we as democrats, should TOLERATE and reflect america from conservative thru liberal ideological zones, america is a center-left country always has and always will be. We lose elections by LACK of participation as playing xbox is more fun than standing in line to vote

nothing will change that. Uyger as memory serve me went full tilt anti-Hillary in 2016 and he is more responsible for a trump being in the Wh than any trump voter is

If he wasn't going to vote for him, he would have said so. He also endorsed Hillary a week before the election.

Anyway, he is NOT a progressive the way people think of "progressive."
