They come off as spoiled children that have a shiny ball, that is the only ball in the world and all other balls are inferior. If you point out the ball is actually a turd, they'll argue how wrong you are and take their turd home.

...if you work really hard polishing that turd someone might mistake it for a ball...you'd think the smell would clue them in, but maybe they all have allergies...

Beyond that even.

I won't say I think it is now and save myself a hide but yeah

If you turn your back on Senator Warren and insult her you are no kind of progressive, liberal or democrat.

You are the leftist version of the tea party though.

Just check some of the vile comments on that hit piece. Shameful as the article.

They lost their minds yesterday when Jerry Brown endorsed HRC, so Warren is their next target.

As a member of Congress. I don't know why she hasn't yet endorsed, but I think she'll get behind the winner, and strongly too.

they're allowing Hillary the positive image of gliding over 2026 (or whatever that number is) delegates and securing the nomination all on her own (she'll also glide over the number required with supers at nearly the same time and possibly in the same state).

At that point, they'll pile on, and a few of Sanders' limited supers should also decamp and join the Clinton crowd.

His whole spiel is nothing more than copy and past memes straight from Tripebart. He's committing robbery if someone pays him for that.

Here's a recent article of his from Salon... and NO I didn't read it.

A liberal case for Donald Trump: The lesser of two evils is not at all clear in 2016
Is there one? A Trump presidency needn't be a nightmare for the left. On many issues, Clinton presidency might be by Walker Bragman

Trump, for all his faults, and in spite of the fact that he is all over the place — releasing a policy platform in line with the current Republican party, but adopting populist rhetoric, hinting at a swing to left for the general election — is not a member of the status quo establishment.

makes no sense, particularly for anyone claiming progressive creds. Nor does dissing Elizabeth Warren. Only increases my suspicion that a lot of these posters and their inflammatory comments are simply Republican agitators hoping to spin controversy. Too much similarity to the Ron Paul crew, Dreamers of Chaos.
