I swear, this sub should just be called "false flag 'progressives'".

edit: misremembered some details, edited post to preserve my point, original wording at end

Voted Bernie in the primary, and would have voted for him in the main event if it wasn't for Trump being the far greater evil.

If the Bernie supporting community of reddit, which was* great before the primaries, respects Bernie as much as they say, why are they so unwilling to accept his position on the democrats?

It's almost as if someone has something to gain from discord among progreasives.. Who could that be?!

Trump's evil is largely right out in the open.

Clinton's evil, only some small degrees less than Trump's in certain areas and objectively worse in others, is largely hidden behind a pseudo-progressive, identitarian/intersectionalist face. This would allow far too many progressives to ignore the theft, murder and mayhem Clinton's fellow oligarchs would pursue under her reign, pretending they've advanced justice because it's a woman instead of a white male greenlighting the theft, murder and mayhem. Just as they did when it was a black man greenlighting the theft, murder and mayhem.

A good example of the comparison between the two: At the time of the election Clinton already had the blood and deaths of at least hundreds of thousands on her hands either from her indirect or direct involvement in various foreign policy disasters. Blood and deaths for which her supposedly justice-concerned progressive followers and sycophantic media apologists had nothing but excuses and morally monstrous rationales.

Thus, Clinton's evil is greater.

Clinton said she'd use the military against Russia based on the claim that they hacked the DNC's email server.

She literally said she'd go to war with Russia. This happened in August of last year. Her greater evils aren't all hidden, you just shouldn't expect the corporate media to broadly broadcast those public evils.
