        Does unquestionable support of LQBTQ and abortion rights make one a moderate republican? How about steadfast opposition to NRA?

        We can't afford to have the party fracture. We've had enough trouble winning elections lately. The divisive rhetoric needs to stop.

        Citation? There is plenty of evidence that Democratic platform of today is very similar to moderate GOP of the pasthttps://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/02/no-liberals-dont-control-the-democratic-party/283653/ …

        I wouldn't argue with "moderate GOP of the past," but that's not how I read Sean's point. The party has clearly been shifting leftward...

        ... though there is still plenty of room to go in that direction. Neither Perez nor Ellison would have had any shot at DNC 20 years ago.

        This is also a willful misrepresentation of Northam's current policies.

        And the GOP has moved much further right than even the most centrist of dem. IMO that makes, "They are both the same." such BS

        I lived in VA from 02-13. Far left has little chance w mixed VA political dynamics. You need to get over this one-size-fits-all mentality.

        about in small victories that hopefully eventually add up to large ones. Perriello's a good guy but not as progressive as you think.

        Northam supports a $15 minimum wage, free community college & more progressive taxes. I supported Perriello, but Northam isn't awful.
