    When asked how the hell he voted for Bush in 2000 & 2004, the Democratic candidate for Governor said he "was uninformed". He was 44 y/o. WTFhttps://twitter.com/shaunking/status/875739775084494848 …

        But isn't someone changing their mind after big mistakes (even late in life) & now supporting $15 minimum wage and LGBT rights a GOOD thing?

        Yes. His answers seemed outrageously insincere or deeply problematic though.

        It took a lot of them some time to come to grips with the lies. It's BRAVE to admit you were wrong. Stop looking down your nose at them.

        while this is a fair point, Northam has since proved he is a progressive with his platform and voting record.

        Shaun, these goddamn purity tests are killing the country. Please stop it. Now. Bernie is not himself very pure either.

        Oh it’s in the article; Reid, for her daring to think that Bernie should actually BE a dem for more than 10m if he wants input on party dir.

        And Periello has moved sharply left as well. What's your point? Northam ran as a progressive. He also got more votes. By a lot.
