    Hahahahah this is hilarious You’re completely misinterpreting what he said. He wasn’t legitimizing Harris he was trying to pump up north Carolinas electoral muscle.

    Fwiw he’s not wrong…I believe if Harris can win nc she’s got it in the bag. I just think it’s funny you think he’s actually progressive.

      hI there. I wasnt making a comment on the article or interpreting what he said. I was giving anecdotal, localized info for those who may want it. not sure why you read anything else into it.

      he’s a southern gov in a southern state who campaigns on and follows through on bill vetos targeting marginalized goups, supporting and expanding the ACA, funding youth crime diversion programs, etc, etc, etc. so yes, “surprisingly progressive” in a state with a supermajority republican legislature.

      NC is a state in transition, but its slow dirty work dragging this state forward. don’t know where you are, but if its the southern US I am interested in hearing why you disagree with the cooper assessment.
