re: #40 Charles Johnson

People who think Obama and Clinton aren’t “true progressives” are naïve assholes who don’t understand how politics works, and think the person who throws the biggest tantrum wins. Childish naïve assholes.

I think it’s what drives me up the wall so much about Sanders supporters. A wingnut showed me an article whose title (paraphrased) was “How Trump and Sanders supporters are alike,” to which my first thought upon seeing the title was “They both have absolutely no connection to reality.” I remember all too well how Howie Dean got most of his supporters from playing the “angry progressive” card, fans screaming “If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention!”

Then I remember how Dean’s candidacy collapsed in less than a month when all those “angry” morons couldn’t be bothered to actually show up, while those that did didn’t want a loony in the White House. I think we’re going to see much the same thing happen with Sanders.
