But this is the worst kind of lazy "satire" that only obfuscates any true difference and only solidifies reasons for the apolitical uninformed voter not to participate in the process.

Not only that but IMO it misrepresents the "progressive" in that he is portrayed as a "Bernie-or-Bust"er that would rather see the Empire burn under Trump, and rise again miraculously as a socialist paradise. Bernie would not be adverse, I gather, to be called a "progressive". And he co-crafted Hillary's platform, dubbed the most progressive Democratic platform ever.

So not only is this not funny at all, but its a false equivalency. A burn-the-house-down radical lefty, should be pitted against a tea bagger white trash Trumpster.
