@chargrille i think Pelosi can recognize a good democrat from the rest. Progressives aren’t really democrats, by their own admission. They just demand democrats earn their vote (thanks for this SCOTUS btw, kids) and vote against actual progress, like taxing the rich for infrastructure projects.

@JJPeterson @chargrille Progressives turned out for Clinton at a far higher rate than PUMAs did for Obama in 2008. Among the hundreds of factors that led to Clinton's loss, I think we have Comey to thank for the decisive blow.

@skroobler @chargrille The biggest factor in Clinton’s loss was Bernie Sanders, a joke in Congress for decades, who voted with the nra repeatedly over many years, never did anything for human rights, was constantly at war with (jealous of) president Obama, couldn’t let the most qualified woman ever win, so he stayed in the race 4 long months longer than he should have while his bros harassed Clinton supporters. The rest was misogyny.

@JJPeterson @chargrille What are you basing that on?

@skroobler Observing history for 30 years.

@JJPeterson Ah, so just your opinion. Noted.

@skroobler like your comment. Lol.

@JJPeterson I mean, Sanders campaigned pretty hard for Clinton, and Comey torpedoed her campaign 10 days out from the election, but sure, just a couple of opinions here.

@skroobler yes, Comey didn’t want to work for a woman either but after months of “but her emails” ghe just added the last straw.

@JJPeterson Bernie Sanders didn't turn the wikileaks nonsense into a 24/7 story; for that you get to thank of course right-wing media, but also plenty of "moderates" like Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell.
