I didn't see it. I may have missed it, but I did not see you say anything of the sort until just now with the $12 minimum wage and the fracking issue. I understand being wary of fracking. I get that. However, I don't see how you can claim advocating for a 65% increase in the minimum wage isn't "progressive" when being progressive is about making positive progress forward. And her reasoning is that at a national level, it would be unwise to push $15 without accomplishing $12 and then assessing additional increases later. I don't see how that's an issue. To me, it's just logical. Even if you look into Bernie's plan which is to increase to $15 incrementally... That's literally what Hillary's plan is, it's just that her goal is $12 and then monitor that impact before making additional jumps that might end up actually hurting the economy. I don't see how that isn't progressive.
Notice how when I quoted you I deleted it because it didn't really make much sense. Unless you as equating left with democrat. Anything but a loose interpretation
