Yes, actually I do.

You’d figure that the confederacy of deplorables Trump has rolled out would cure some folks of the disease of perfectionism; one cannot logically argue that Clinton would have selected a skinhead as a chief strategist, a fossil-fuel magnate as Secretary of State, or an opponent of the EPA to run the agency. Yet, if a supposed non-progressive wins the Democratic nomination, he or she will inevitably be assailed as a traitor-in-waiting to the cause, someone whose actions would effectively urinate on FDR’s grave.


JC, gotta say if you are not hurt and angry right now, then maybe you have nothing to lose. Americans in the 20-25 million range may lose ACA. They are going to die. I posted the other day (somewhere, no link) that 145K will die in the first year, that doesn't take into account the numbers that will die with the dismantling of SS Medicare and Medicaid.

I have no interest in a 'true progressive' winning, I want the 'liberal Democrat' to win.
