I voted for Bernie in the primary. I'll NEVER understand the self - professed 'progressives' who DIDNT vote for Hillary in the General. Voting for Trump in order to fuck over the country to the point that the 10% in the middle that swing elections will never not pay attention again, is political woowoo worthy of them believing in fucking trickle-down.

A Republican who gets 'woke' is one thing. A 'liberal' who doesnt, just deserves our scorn. I'm talking about the difference between Steve Schmidt and Jill Stein here.

I hope he is not like Scarborough in that he just hates Trump and so sounds like a progressive, until he doesn't.
