(43,869 posts)A Puritopian is a self-described liberal or progressive whose political orientation is to be angry, dissatisfied and unhappy with the state of the nation, because in their view, liberal policies are not being implemented quickly or forcefully enough. They have particular contempt for Democratic presidents.
They are ideological purists who disdain compromise and incremental change, which they see as "selling out" liberal ideas like full employment, an end to war, and liberal social policy. Their views can often sound like utopian fantasy where opposing views never exist.
Puritopians dislike Republicans but reserve their greatest disdain for Democratic presidents, whom they relentlessly attack for not meeting a set of ideological goal posts that are constantly adjusted to ensure that the president will be deemed a disappointment, "not progressive enough" or "just like a Republican" no matter what policy achievements are made.
Puritopians routinely dismiss or ignore congress' role in making or impeding policy, believing presidents can simply "use the bully pulpit" in order to overcome constitutional or legislative obstacles.
Puritopians have an affinity for 3rd party politics as a way to punish Democratic presidents. They are especially hostile to President Obama and deem anyone who expresses a lack of ill will toward him to be "Obamabots" and enemies of liberalism.

There are also some Democrats who are traditionally liberal on social issues, but are more conservative on economic or foreign policy issues. Some members of the left wing of the Democratic Party apply the term "Democrat in name only" to conservative Democrats.

(58,785 posts)People googling info on Bernie see lots of extremely unflattering posts from sites like this come up. I just saw something about smelly rectums on another thread here. It's not just googles about Bernie that are going to return that one to offended readers.
I am just so glad almost all of the really low and extremely hostile posts are attacking Hillary and Democrats (wish I could say all). Even the most uninvolved searcher could not think this trash came from her and her people. And all the logos help too.

(40,416 posts)Okay, I will rephrase being literal.
Hillary Clinton has sold her soul to the devil.
Better? Just joking, I was being metaphorical.
Not that Hillary Clinton supporters could tell the difference. What with their idiot apoplectic reaction about Bernie's bird and his Vatican invite. One just shakes ones head in wonder.
However, just look at her donor list. She has sold her soul!
