Colour the article with your assessment of Troy Jackson in the post body if you like, but you shouldn’t editorialize the article headline that significantly.
I would like Jackson to be loudly progressive like Platner, which so far I have not heard too much on, and he used to be a Republican, but even in those years, he was arguing for stronger states’ rights for labour. He is far from a conservative corporate Democrat, he supported Sanders over the DNC favourites and campaigned plenty with Platner.
