6. What is REALLY BAD is those so-called progressives who not only refused to vote for

Hillary in 2016, by either not voting or voting third party, but encouraging others to do likewise.

We lost the SC with these suppossed "progressives"

David Sirota, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy Gray, Cornell West, Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon, etc. etc. etc.

In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%, while in those critical swing states Jill Stein 1% of the vote.

and as if 2016 wasn't bad enough, they did the same redo in 2024.

I am so tired of these same characters always appear at election time, complaining about "establishment" Democrats, and then blaming everyone else except themselves when they didn't vote because the "perfect" candidate wasn't there, and encouraged others to do likewise.

Constant divisive crap that has done nothing but elect republicans, and bringing us to where we are NOW.

and as for Gaza, they really screwed the pooch on that one by turning their back on Harris, and by doing so helped usher in trump.

EVERYONE KNEW THAT THE SUPREME COURT WAS AT STAKE IN 2016.

There is no cure for stupidity.

but rant on, blame Democratic leadership, establishment Democrats, etc., and then act outraged and blame everyone else except themselves for NOT bothering to vote.
