28. I don't think that's a fair assessment at all.

Actually, I feel there are a lot of supporters of the centrist candidates that make the argument that their candidate is the only one that can beat Trump. We have to mobilize people to want to vote. Not the people that usually vote, but those that don't normally. If we have a high turnout, we win. That means we have to get a person whose policies resonate with a lot of people. Not the "well, he's not Trump" position. That won't motivate anyone to come out and vote.

But, hey, if it makes you happy to knock the far left of the party, have at it I guess. It always shocks me that the centrist part of the party just dunks on the progressives all the time and then puts on a shocked face when the progressives don't just eat their shit sandwich and do what those that have been dunking on them forever want them to do.
