    That was “moderate” party leaders trying to sabotage a progressive at any cost.

    Wait, what? I thought Jimmy Carter was considered really progressive for his time. And Ted Kennedy wasn’t some perfect progressive hero, he had some pretty major blemishes on his record like Chappaquiddik. So I always saw it as more pointless infighting than any kind of centrist-vs-progressive showdown like 2016.

    Then again, my parents were in high school when all this was going down, so my knowledge is obviously pretty limited, lol.
