Should Sanders continue to campaign for a pro-life progressive?

Isn't Tim Kaine & Joe Manchin pro-life as well? By this logic, Dems should abandon them as well. I am not even sure if this guy qualifies to be pro-life, he is probably somewhere between a pro-life & a pro-choice. If this guy was in the Senate, he would be a reliable Democrat vote for the Supreme Court for liberal justices.

If Nebraska, you have a super progressive candidate, but Sanders' should abandon him because he is not 100% pro-choice? This would essentially mean surrendering most parts to the GOP & severely damaging economic progressive ideas !

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" panel ripped the Democratic Party's left flank for abandoning an Omaha, Nebraska, mayoral candidate with a mixed record on abortion rights, calling it "stupid," "splintered," and "autocratic." NARAL Pro-Choice America roasted the DNC as "politically stupid" for backing a candidate who will "strip women … of our basic rights." Daily Kos withdrew its endorsement of Mello for his views violating the site's "deepest values."Liberal pundit Joan Walsh trashed Sanders for giving Mello his support but not offering it to Georgia congressional candidate Jon Ossoff.

"He agreed to a bill that said a doctor could tell a woman she had a right to have an ultrasound, and for that, they're blowing up the party?" he asked. "These are not people that want to be in charge of the House and the Senate again."Scarborough said some in the party's behavior was "short-sighted" and "stupid," comparing it to a hypothetical pro-choice Republican not getting support from the party in New England. Historian Jon Meacham relayed his experience growing up in Tennessee and how Democrats used to dominate the state's congressional delegation. Now, Republicans have statewide control, he said, due to Democrats having "autocratic" standards for candidates.

Liberal Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson said the Democratic Party's problem right now was simply being too small."If it's going to recover, it's going to do it by getting bigger and it's going to make a bigger tent, so that means a 50-state strategy," he said. "It's certainly a lot more than the sort of bicoastal strategy that it has now, so it's going to have to accommodate different views or at least nuances of views." "This requirement for 100 percent purity is a recipe to be a coastal minority party," said co-host Willie Geist. "If you're not willing to, on this one sliver of an issue, allow a little leeway for somebody who might be able to win and put a Democrat in that seat, you're not going to win across the country."

Amidst the flurry of anger against his candidacy from the left, Mello told the Huffington Post he would not do anything in office to restrict "reproductive health care."
