Willy asks:
Why is The Underminer still on Progressive Bloggers. (I have decided to post on this blog to add additional points. Please read his post as well.). Scott Tribe replies that ProgBlogs is not a Liberal aggregator and has full intentions of sticking to its eponymous mission. All very respectful and Canadian. But this isn't a question of whether or not all readers of Progressive Bloggers are Liberals.
There is ample evidence that the
blog website in question has progressive viewpoints only so far as they contribute to his bank account. As several commenters on Willy's post point out, the political operative in question is almost certainly working for non-progressive clients.
The Underminer is likely using his status as a contributor to Progressive Bloggers as a platform to discourage progressives from voting.
Back before the redesign of his
blog website it was a lot easier to search the back catalogue of
blog website posts. If that was still possible one could track his change from "I'm going to run as a Liberal in the next election" after the Harper majority to the Scheer maniac we see today. Other posts record his anger at not being employed by the new regime in their war room. And when they won? KaBoom.
For all of the Trudeau Liberal's faults, they are demonstrably more progressive than the Conservatives. Allowing an agent provocateur a platform to actively discourage Liberals from voting should be antithetical to the concept of Progressive Bloggers.
"Scheer looked Prime Ministerial"? How was his URL not deleted at that point?

Without enemy getting into whether Liberals or apologists for Trudeau are progressives there are numerous sites, including TERF hate sites and some blatantly commercial sites, that clearly should not be on Progressive Bloggers.
Your additional points are right on point.
Thank you for sharing your observations regarding what some, such as myself, didn't get to see of said website communication-transformation.
I'm with yourself and Willy Loman on this one, the individual in question is clearly just promoting his own commercial interests and hardly 'progressive'. Unfortunately there are individuals on the other side of the political spectrum who are equally 'over the top' with their commentary, at least one of whoom is also on PB. Such commentary does little to further rational discussion around our failing democracy.
Kinsella is an egotistical annoying self-important thinking person who pushes his ego and activities on his site. Having been banned two or three times from that site for being critical of 'his majesty' I just ignore his rubbish. Now that he is on a real rant showing his hatred of PMJT I am glad I made the right decision.
