(14,249 posts)First of all, the people who refused to vote for Hillary arent progressives. They are outlier disrupters. Progressives voted for Hillary because they dont play these kinds of childish give me what I want or Im going to hold my breath until I turn blue games. But evenif you want to label these crybabies progressives, they dont represent all, most or even a critical mass of progressives. And these outlier progressives need to grow the fuck up and stop demanding they be thrown a bone in order to vote for the duly nominated nominee in a general election in the most important election in our generation. The world and the party doesnt revolve around them.
Second, YOU may be ok with things getting worse before they get better, but plenty of people - people who true progressives actually care about, protect and fight for - dont have the same luxury. They have no room for error. They have nothing to fall back on or cushion them from the worse. Their lives will be infinitely harder. Worse could possibly destroy them while faux progressives try to prove a point.
Therefore, as I said, fuck them.
