(175,753 posts)And many of them have left, voluntarily or otherwise. It's curious how the AA group is a bellwether of DU. Not terribly surprising, I guess.

Now I'm seeing his money maker. And he's wrong. We aren't in a Jim Crow environment.
I hope all of the "y'alls" who tried to shove him down our throats are getting woke now.

(92,433 posts)vote for Jill Stein.
As far as I am concerned those "so-called" progressives who refused to vote for Hillary by voting third party, are as deplorable as those who voted for trump. I don't care how they identify themselves, they are as responsible for what has happened, as those who voted for trump, and they should be hanging their heads in shame as Civil Rights, Women's Rights, environmental rights, and so many other causes that have been fought for in the last 70 years are systematically dismantled.
Hillary lost Michigan by .3%. Jill Stein received 1.1% of the vote. Similar results in Wisconsin, and the other critical swing states. Yes, they made the difference, and are responsible for the pain and suffering that will forced on so many people, because of their hypocritical, selfish, egos

(53,074 posts)Is incredible. All of this was obvious before the election. There was nothing authentic about Trump, other than being authentically incompetent. How West, Stein, Sarandon and their ilk can be so colossally stupid yet feel no regrets is astounding.

(37,549 posts)Yes....you've been here many years. I am sure you appreciate the irony of those who used to cite Brother West religiously.

(31,261 posts)The True Progressives are the people that saw the clear danger of a potential Trump Presidency and made sure they voted for Hillary, regardless of the status of their state.

(37,549 posts)By calling him a used car salesman, and a piece of shit.... and who incorrectly asserted that the ACA did not cover pre-existing conditions.
Do not disparage those who incorrectly asserted that Hillary Clinton's Goldman Sachs speeches were proof of her corporatism. Nor disparage those who insisted that flying on one of Jeffrey Epstein's flights made one a pedophile.
Do not disparage those who approved of and recommended the thread that indicated that blacks and gays must have Stockholm syndrome for supporting Hillary Clinton.
For these were the true progressives of DU.....

(5,818 posts)claiming that perhaps his election would invigorate the left and that at least Trump (and Bernie) represented something revolutionary whereas Hillary was the corporate status quo, etc.
The consequences of Trump so far have outstripped both of these thinkers' expectations of the worst. Hitchens made the same mistake with Bush, I think, though his reasoning was more sound in terms of his atheism and so on.
