That is not what that article said. That is what you read into it. Find the word progressive in it, and the article said the noise meant nothing.
koan: "Some are going to think that the progressives were trying to be stupid in Kansas. The article said young and old, but also said the bickering meant nothing.
I would bet the people who designed it were mostly older progressives, the article just doesn't say, but the way they did it is the way anyone with good sense would do it."
"Even before the leak, activist groups and establishment insiders were bickering over whether Democrats should freely and proudly use the word abortion or rely more on indirect phrases like “reproductive freedom.”
These disputes reflected generational and ideological divides in the Democratic Party, between moderate elders accustomed to playing defense in the abortion debate and younger progressives eager to seize the offensive.
But for those who won the fight to protect abortion rights in Kansas, all that noise meant nothing.
Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, the group that led the campaign to defeat the constitutional amendment intended to permit abortion bans, developed a messaging strategy that resonated across the political spectrum and eschewed purity tests. |
