(53,035 posts)Many of us lost a once in a 240 year opportunity by Clinton's being defeated, and I don't expect us to have another opportunity for a long time to come. The voters, however, have the final say, and they ultimately rejected Clinton, as they did Sanders in the primary.
The people I'm talking about are not my allies. They are my enemies. They stood with the Klan and the neo-nazis. Because they use the name progressive when they in fact are regressive doesn't mean they are allies. They worked to bring fascism to this country. That makes them my enemy. I'm fucking sick to death of people assuming the word progressive means ally when it means nothing. Most of those people are every bit as reactionary, racist, and misogynist as the worst of the Trump voters.
Why you've decided this is about you is a problem for you to resolve. It's not my doing.
We still have Sanders supporters whining about a primary that ended months ago, and you say I have to grow up and not express my views because you somehow have decided to feel attacked because you saw the word progressive. That really is your problem.
