Hey Beach Dem if you’re here, your pal Bakari Sellers wrote a very nice article about Tom Perriello.
There is the false narrative emerging that Perriello, who has scored the endorsements of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, is viewed as representing the progressive wing of the party. In contrast, Northam, a former two-term senator, who has the endorsements of many traditional Virginia Democrats, including Sen. Tim Kaine and Gov. Terry McAuliffe, is viewed to represent the more establishment wing of the party.
The Democratic Party cannot and should not be summarized as establishment versus progressives. And, more importantly, it cannot win with that kind of rivalry.
For example, there are many Clinton supporters who appreciate both candidates for their progressive stances, but are still supporting Perriello because they are drawn to his authentic social justice message, one that’s rooted in understanding the plight of voters of color coupled with tangible policy goals.

Bakari nails it and he also nails what has made Tom such an appealing candidate to me. He’s able to talk about economics without dismissing civil rights concerns.
