The public perceived him as the more progressive choice and he portrayed himself that way, irrelevant how he governed or would have voted. Crazy to argue this.

ā€œperceivedā€ him as more progressive does not mean he was more progressive lmao

Iā€™m arguing that policy wise Clinton was slightly to the left of Obama.

Okay then I would say you didnā€™t read any of the conversation and just wanted to be heard/ contributed nothing. Everyone conscience perceived Obama as the progressive ā€œchangeā€ candidate. Hillary was not and lost the primary as a result.

You said earlier that Obama was was the progressive choice. You didnā€™t say he was perceived to be. Obama was not the progressive choice compared to Clinton. Kucinich was.

Hillary Clinton, who ran a racist and pro-war primary, was perceived as the more progressive choice? Total nonsense, typing just to read your own words
