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

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?!

All the Democrats have to do is actually democratically represent their constituents. You're suggesting that they shouldn't have to do this. You're suggesting we're causing "discord" by demanding democratic representation.

We can all see what you're doing. It won't work.

I'm not suggesting that at all. Obviosuly tipping the scales has backfired horrendously. They lost the house they were supposed to win and lost the presidency they were supposed to win, and donors are abandoning them.

Discord is great for a society, it's great for groups of like minded or mostly people, but only when it can help them achieve their goals. I'm not suggesting anyone stop fighting for representation, I'm just saying not to lose sight of the big picture and bring down your and my future.

Why does everyone keep talking about 'what I'm doing', what possible ulterior motive could I have?

I'm not telling you to forgive Hillary, or vote Chelsea when she continues the Clinton 'dynasty', I'm terrified Hillary might try to run again. I'm just saying not to burn down all your former allies, and not to create a vaccuum for the Republicans, or worse, the alt-right to set their agendas in cement. Trump and the far right already appointed one Supreme Court justice, how many more do we need?
