I'm not sure if these are real Progresives, people with opinions with no political affliation, or NeoLiberals pretending to be such to get more votes. Either way definite examples of major issues.

They sound messy as can be.

Progressives (politically) are more likely to include people of color in decision making though and did the work to recruit Latinos door to door more often than NeoLiberals did in the last few years. Sanders was the only political candidate I can remember to restructure his entire staff to ensure more POCs were decision-makers and the only one to let BLM leaders take over his podium.

I try not to revisit the problems I expect a person to have because of previous experience or influence and question my own conclusions before I bring an observation against someone. For example, if I percieve someone to be frequently late, I try to double check if that perception is actually true. (Not really true in last case, late twice, 1 was a procrastination mistake, the other a reasonable mis-estimation of time.) A lot of less logical people fly by a "feeling" then make the evidence follow their idea.

PS Blerds are awesome.
