    I’m not denigrating any coalition partners. By coalition partners, I mean anyone who actually shows up and actually votes for the least fascist candidate who has a chance of winning.

    I’m sorry your feelings were harmed by hearing that people are not voting. Speaking of Hillary, how did she get into the general election given progressives are voting in such numbers? So odd.

      read up on those stats yourself. The block of voters who voted for hillary the most were 18-29 year olds.

      Trumps biggest camp were white voters who had not completed college, by a huge factor. Do you think those people are progressives? Most voters lack a college degree.

      You have been infected with the idea that progressives cost Hillary the election because you lot were looking for people to blame who werent either centrists or hillary herself. So lies became truths for you lot, and even if your lies had been true you wouldnt want to evaluate why that dynamic existed. All you want to get to is an ability to lay blame, like thats useful, and you dont even do it accurately.
