Message to Partisan Democrats

Please. Please people! Stop pretending like Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama are progressives. They aren’t! They are centrist Democratic politicians. Even calling either one of them liberal is a bit of a stretch. Favor who you please, but let’s not pretend that these people are anything other than what they are, ok? I’m not saying there’s anything implicitly wrong with being a centrist or moderate, but please, stop trying to convince me that one of the two potential Democratic Presidential nominees is progressive. It’s just not true.

Oh, and for the record, Partisan Democrats, many of those speaking on your behalf are most definitely not progressive, what with all the sexism and racism that they seem so comfortable spewing out. I’m just saying.

Signed,

Proud Independent Progressive
