...and I took her as saying she didn't want my vote, she wanted to court Republicans by echoing dishonest & unfair R talking points.

You're saying Bernie's gun votes were like Clinton's completely cynical (and ineffective!) betrayal of my core values on health care.

Didn't mention Clinton, but yeah you're doing the thing I allude to here: ascribing a moral value to one vote you don't like but not another

I ascribe a moral value to both. I personally care more about sick poor people than about reducing suicides, although both are important.

Hey, that's all I'm saying here. & even (tho obvs more limited) we can have differing ideas/strategies but still both be "progressive"

You may or may not be, but Clinton isn't- she thinks building sweatshops is an appropriate use of disaster relief in Haiti.

Again, Clinton is a private citizen now but if that's your metric, neither is Sanders "progressive"

Sanders is/was an imperfect candidate. Stein (who I voted for in the general) even more so. I'm as much a pragmatic, strategic voter as any.

Ok? That's...kind of my point. You came to a different conclusion, but you don't get to call me "not a progressive" FOR THAT REASON ALONE

I never said you weren't, I said Clinton wasn't but Sanders was. (I left that last bit off, but it was implied.)

Given a choice between someone who wasn't a progressive at all and an imperfect progressive, I chose the imperfect progressive.

Again, you're not applying your own metric consistently.
