... are Jill Stein voters. They are part of the reason we have Trump
I know many people like this. They came up in my Facebook feed. They are white, straight and very privileged. These are the people who said Hillary and Trump are the same. And "oh my conscious won't allow me to vote for Hillary"
The used the phrases warmonger and corporatist to describe her. I heard that rhetoric here as well.
Their meetings are like this
They believed that Trump's victory will bring about a "progressive revolution." They willing we see everything burn down for their "revolution" and don't care who will suffer in the meantime.
That is why I am proud I am to call myself a Progressive Democrat and not a SJW. Because I am terrified for women, people of color, the LGBT community, Muslims, and others who will suffer because The Orange man is President.
