If you hadn’t heard, it’s an “either or” situation: Either Bernie Sanders is a complete misogynistic asshole, or Elizabeth Warren is a lying son of a …
It may be something in between, or it may be one or the other. But one thing is clear. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are easily the most progressive candidates still running for the Democratic Party’s nomination. If you prefer Biden or Buttigieg or Steyer, that’s fine. But they are not as left or progressive or radical as those two New England senators. But while both Warren and Sanders supporters attack one another, there are many people who like them both as candidates and would like to see either one or both of them facing off against Donald Trump (or whoever the Republican Party has in that slot) in this coming election.
The Hill reports that amidst all of the back and forth happening mostly online and in traditional media outlets (which, like sharks, smell blood in the water and hope it will turn into ratings), 18 progressive groups have signed a pledge to step away from this battle in order to unify and elect a progressive president. The Hill provides a list of the groups signing on, and who they’ve backed.

We can be angry at one another and still keep things in perspective, right?
