20. I personally don't consider him a "fellow progressive"...

And I do not consider his supporters "natural allies." It's a mistake to assume all progressivism is the same. It's the same as when there was a belief in just one feminist movement. Now, there is a recognition that there are many feminisms. I support Warren's progressivism. I don't support Bernie's. There is a dangerous underbelly to Bernie's that attracts racism, misogyny, and homophobia. It's rigid and inflexible and affirms fears of leftist authoritarianism. I think calling out the dangers of that form of progressivism is a good thing. There's this idea that the Sanders movement defines progressivism and it is very important to challenge that if we are to ever have a populist progressive agenda that actually appeals to a broad coalition of Americans. Bernie's is not it. I also increasingly question his "genuine dedication to the plight of average Americans." I want something better for progressive democrats and the progressive movement.
