With all due respect to you and Mr. King, this is a strong NOPE from me. I cannot read one more piece about this race and blaming progressives for not embracing Bottoms. We CAN'T realistically sit here and say what the Reed administration w/ Bottoms as his right hand, has done...

Hey Stacey. Did you read my piece? I'm not blaming progressives for the Atlanta race, but using the stuff "progressives" said to me directly to highlight an important problem. I hope you will check it out.

Wow, you actually replied. I did and still have a problem with this. The entire piece is presumed upon notion that there was an actual progressive to choose from (there wasn't) and that progressive owe Democrats their votes. They don't and not mutually exclusive to Dems.

You don’t think Vincent Fort is a progressive? I do. He came in 5th place. That was our time to show up. He got 9,000 votes.

I did and still do. Fort lost because of a bad campaign, lack of organizing infrastructure to help GOTV in black communities and issues that questioned his character. However, we were talking about KLB, were we not?

My article was about Fort. And how when he did not win, a true conundrum existed for progressives. I campaigned for him. When he lost, many progressives bailed, and then publicly criticized me for not bailing. I think that is dangerous.
