I'm a progressive who would like to pull for Pete but takes issue with some aspects of his campaign -- can you convince me?

By whose definition? Yours?

Let's go off of the fact that the very congressional caucuses that identify themselves by the moderate and centrist nature of their beliefs and their opposition to progressive views support both marijuana legalization and LGBTQ rights.

As for LGBT rights, newsflash: people are going to die because of what the Trump administration is doing right now.

Could you elaborate? What are you referring to here?

Pretty policies written up by smart guys like Yang aren't going to help anyone directly hurt by this administration right now.

You don't think that UBI, M4A, and strong stances on climate change stand to help anyone who is being hurt by the Trump administration?

you dismiss human rights as just silly stuff that doesn't count.

What are you basing that claim on?
