My point isn’t to criticize Mello’s record on abortion rights, my point is to defend Tim Kaine’s record and I will point out that Kaine actually did face a lot of scrunity when he was picked but people did see that Kaine had a 100% pro-choice voting record. The objections the activists had with Mello was not his personal beliefs but parts of his voting record. And personally, I think a lot are frustrated by the fact that Sanders who backed him can devise standards for candidates but they’re told to shut up about their concerns regarding this guy’s record on choice. I know Mello would have been better than the Republican who ran in Omaha. I don’t doubt that in the slightest.
