I wrote every author of this article this response:

I'm a "BernieCrat" and I did not vote my conscience. I did what was right for my country and voted for her. The "my conscience" meme is a very selfish one considering the threat we faced and now must live with.
Yeah she's hawkish and corporate I get that but Trump... WTF!!??!!

You purity-test lefties helped usher in tRump with your encouraging of others to not vote for her and no amount of Hillary bashing will wash that blood and stench off your hands.

Here's his response:



Here's my reply:

1. True, Greenwald is part of the reason there was low turnout. I'm still thinking voter suppression is

... the main reason the 4 states that she was slated to win under performed for her.

I'm not backing off that until I see something empirical

[SHRED]

2. Apparently the gravity of tRump...

...wasn't enough for these critics to keep their powder dry against her during the run up.

But I'm the lying idiot.

5. Yes, but the Vichy Progressives worked hard to get Trump elected

and they succeeded. They own this fascist state.

[SHRED]

7. Excuse my ignorance

What is "Vichy"?

[BainsBane]

8. It's my term for Bernie or Busters

The Vichy were the French collaborators with Hitler in WWII. Vichy France refers to Nazi occupied France. The Vichy Progressives are the equivalent, in my view, because they helped elect Trump (as Eichenwald notes).

9. Got it

3. Susan Sarandon deserves that same condemnation.

Her single vote didn't sway the election, but she very publicly declared that Clinton was unworthy of the office and therefore swayed others. And look what happened? We have the most unworthy individual in history as President.

Susan Sarandon is a buffoon.

4. True

[BainsBane]

6. Absolutely

Sitting on her hundreds of millions lecturing people about revolution, all while being the face of an exploitative multinational corporation. She's a hypocrite of the highest order.

10. GG is a bit thin skinned

Yes?

Well said, Shred!

11. He's an asshole.. so not surprised. he does this to everybody

who doesn't worship at his altar.

12. Greenwald often reveals his true nature

in his writings, especially when he's ticked off at someone. I got a similar treatment from him for a post here on DU. I can't find the link right now, though.
