General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I've noticed some "progressives" seem to think Hillary owes them something [View all]guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)I posted an article by Noam Chomsky on the huge mistake that some progressives made by not supporting Clinton. For this, I have been accused of being a Hillbot, and being an apologist for all of her supposed high crimes and misdemeanors. Ironic because I was banned temporarily from the Clinton group here because of my preference for Sanders. Such is life.
But in my responses at JPR, as well as defending Chomsky, I made the point that no matter who I supported in the primaries, in the general election there were only two viable candidates. And I voted for the best of the two candidates. Unfortunately, Trump won.
Some of the JPR respondents showed little real concern for the great harm that a Trump Presidency might bring. (I say might because I am always an optimist.) And that lack of apparent concern is troubling. It is almost as though political purity weighs more than the harm that Trump might do.
Nice post BB.
