Have people in the tent who disagree on free college.....

Then one who wants free college, while making racist comments to minorities, or throwing gay people under the bus to get trump voters.

I thought AOC wanted a smaller tent......what happened?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

The people who have been saying "no purity tests" (which I agree with) now suddenly find themselves insisting that we need to apply a purity test to endorsements.

How about just lets stop with the purity tests period?

Purity tests and all the bullshit about "corporate Dems are the same as Republicans" was and is stupid. So we should push back on purity tests, instead of imposing new different purity tests.

That doesn't mean we should make Joe Rogan the new LGBT outreach person. It just means that we should understand that we need to win an election, and that means we need some voters who don't think trans women should participate in women's MMA sports, just like we are going to need some voters who don't believe in free college.
