Did you watch the 2008 convention? 2012 convention? What passes as left wing today is far more progressive than what passed for left wing during the last two election cycles. This year’s platform is the most progressive ever, and that is according to Bernie supporters like Ellison.

While this is certainly disappointing to read, I fully stand by the Kaine pick. I think he will make an excellent VP - Hillary clearly likes him, he is an excellent antidote to Pence and the religious right plus he is an affable guy - a Biden 2.0. For all of us who care about pro-choice issues, remember it’s Hillary’s…

Fair enough. Maybe they’ll get a new gig going though?

I know. I listen to the 538 podcast :). But, like you said, it’s a goofball question, which I don’t think tells us much or reflects people’s true beliefs other than that both candidates are incredibly unpopular. I don’t believe people would rather die and have everyone they know die over a Clinton or Trump presidency.

These polls are a joke. Why do Maddow and Jezebel feel the need to cover them?

Imperfect no doubt but worth looking at the full Clinton statement from 2014 (which was in line with the Obama administration). She supported deporting unaccompanied children after family members can be identified.

I don’t think Sanders’ immigration track record was particularly strong either...
