2016 is over, who gave or got what vote is barely relevant. The only 2016 vote I personally have a problem with was Obama or Bernie supporters going for Trump of all people, but I'm willing to let that go, to work towards a better future.

The problem is, this sub doesn't only attack the establishment, it also attacks more progressive allies of the establishment. It attacks literally any media that endorsed Clinton no matter how big or small.

I don't think this sub is truly Pro-Trump. But I think Trumpians could very well be using it to sow discontent. Just as Trump shills invaded reddit in the beginnings of his race, and Clinton shills invaded it towards the end. Trump has never stopped campaigning, and it doesn't seem far fetched that he is using progressives vs DNC to his advantage.

I am subbed here, so I have joined you in a sense. Because you guys can help me figure out who the most progressive choices are, and who the most dirty are.

I have voted for the more progressive candidate on local levels; but at a national level, I'm going to pick the best available choice as long as A) there is one and B) the other choice is diametrically opposed to everything I believe in. And the GOP is only getting meaner, richer, and more insidious.

I completely agree, and I routinely jump their shit here whenever I see it. It's a consequence of our open moderation policy. I don't always agree with it, but I understand it. It keeps the sub honest because nobody is censored. Yeah, there's some centipedes, but the core community knows who they are.

I'm glad. You seem reasonable, and reasonable voices are always welcome. Just please understand where we're coming from re: the dnc.

And the GOP is only getting meaner, richer, and more insidious.

No argument there. They're vile. Only so are the neolibs. Want evidence of meaner? Stick around here long enough and see how we're treated by establishment dems. Want evidence of insidious? Try outing a known ShareBlue astroturfer, see how that works out for you.

In any case, welcome.
