Progressives voting for Jill Stein or Trump

Are no longer or not Democrats and should just leave the DNC and any other Democratic gathering places.

We get it. You don't like Hillary. You don't like Debbie. You think it's all fixed. You're angry.

Good for you. Go vote for Trump or Stein or go make you're own convention somewhere else and let Clinton supporters have theirs.

The whole thing has been stupid from the start.

How does anyone imagine a fascist like Trump is preferable to a Democrat like Clinton? I get that some people wantws a stronger left leaning nominee, but that is not the reality we are dealing with, and Trump is an authoritarian tyrant who is promoting crazy ideas that are not only diametrically opposed to Democratic policies and goals, but a real threat to our country and the whole world.

What makes someone think that Trump is a logical choice? Are they really Democrats, or just closeted conservatives, even fascists who haven't grasped where their true compass is leading them? Is this just youthful rebellion, or an emotional pique, political confusion, misinformation, contrariness, sour grapes... what makes Trump such an attractive alternative?
