    He was (and still is to a certain extent) fairly progressive for a US politician. A look at his campaign issues page shows that he is pro LGBTQ rights, pro worker’s rights, pro gun control, pro Medicare, and so on.

    It’s really his outspoken and unequivocal support for Israel that has soured a lot of people on the Left.

      Do centrist democrats talk like this?
