If Trump has you lashing out at Dems today, instead of him....

If your complaining about your own hurt feelings or blaming Trumps bullshit on Dems here, think again. Accusing Dems of supporting Nazis is beyond the pale, yet it's happening here today. WTF people?

He's coopted the opinions of liberals who ripped HRC to shreds, still does. He's coopted Sanders ideas (and still does) to split the left. If you ignore that and attack Dems, you're falling for the same shit again. Stop it.

I also don't believe the OP is required to post links when s/he makes a general observation about the forum that we can all research for ourselves

What was said is that some in the alt.left (including Susan Sarandon who is on tape embracing the strategy) decided it was better to have Trump as president, in an embrace of the "Hitler First, Then Us" strategy, while they knew full well what we were getting into electing a fascist.

And so these fringe alt.leftists attacked (and continue to attack) our party and our past nominee.

At that's the truth of the matter. It is a cynical and dangerous strategy, and it is playing out just as many hoped it would.

Others have backed me up, if you haven't seen it yourself count yourself lucky because I'm sure you agree it's disgusting.

If anyone points it out, THEY will be accused of being divisive. It's why no matter how awful he is, he always manages to come out ok.
