12. "and not knee-jerk react based on faulty assumptions made after a particularly emotional loss"

I agree with your over all premise, and I don't think most of the Trumpsters even want to be conciliatory anyways so its a waste of time. It just gives them an opportunity to ROTFL at us. This type of person is ugly as a loser and even uglier as a winner.

But you should take your own advice from the quote I made of your OP. For one, it is not "progressives" that would brag about or ever even vote for Trump. Those are anarchists and libertarians. If they actually call themselves progressives then they are mislabeling themselves. Stop perpetrating this myth that anything more than a tiny fraction of misguided Bernie supporters that identify as progressives, want a Trump presidency much less voted for him.

After Bernie lost California, and the nail was being pounded into the coffin, it was a punch in the gut and we wanted a place to vent and commiserate. This place shut us out so many went seeking the first place that offered us free speech and place that was open to criticize the DNC and how Bernie lost. Many, including myself did not switch there voluntarily. This is where I wanted to stay and talk but we were basically censored.

But that place was also infiltrated with all manner of anarchists and libertarians and even a few downright Trump supporters. Because it was/is such an open sight. To cherry pick the more abusive anarchists on there and their wish to burn down the house is not an accurate picture. The much maligned Manny himself admitted in an OP that he had voted for Hillary as well. Most all of ex-Bernie backers switched and respected his request to back Hillary....because it was the only path to defeating Trump at that point! That is the reality. OPs like this that lump idiots that pretend or may even actually think they are progressive but are really anarchists with people that are proud to be called progressives and liberals who are always fighting for the opposite of what Trump stands for, is not helping us all band together.
