    I'll repeat that the push for the Democrats to back away from protecting POC comes from centrist liberals, not the left.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/896035458693689348 …

        most of this debate is artificial -- some on each side pretending there is more separation than there actually is

        Uh I think there is plenty of separation between the kind of party I want and playing to ugly nativism. If there isn't, we're screwed.

        Yeah but this is a move to the right from Clinton's campaign and platform. On immigration it sounds more like Sanders' nativist populism.

        Yeah it's not like her slogan was STRONGER TOGETHER and the DNC most diverse/progressive EVER

        They're quick to sell out on PoC, Abortion rights, LGBT rights and immigration but why not guns? Lots of money to be made in guns

        "Dilution of national identity" and "social cohesion" are the leitmotifs which basically mean "remember who this country really belongs to."

        This is goofy. There are factions of the center and the left who are calling for this. There are factions of both getting pissed about it.

        I'm a centrist liberal and couldn't disagree more with this.
