23. I don't know WHAT in the hell they are

The thing is, a true "far left" progressive isn't going to pretend to be a part of the Democratic Party, then say "I've voted Dem for 30 years! That's it! I'm writing a letter of resignation, Hillary is the evilest ever!" No--the real far left is going to be part of protests and collectives and community organizations and vote Socialist or Socialist Democrat or even Communist--so those types making that claim are just full of shit as far as progressive cred.

I agree, there are people just crushed at the outcome and cannot reconcile themselves, but to get so inwardly bitter they would vote for Trump? I don't know man. I turned in my armchair psychology card when I realized I even get gender wrong half the time-But it does seem a very--unstable-kind of thinking from someone trying to claim "progressive".

And it not like it hasn't been clear that Hilary was going to win since March, or that, no, there was not going to be an indictment over emails or anything else--it's been very clear for anyone truly paying attention.
