"Progressives Say We're Proud Of Not Voting For Hillary!" (idiocy from the far left).

[Tom Rinaldo]

96. It was meant to be over the top, isn't that obvious?

Some points become more obvious through exaggeration. Yes there is such a thing as separatism and I assume at least some of those women also call themselves feminists and likely it is possible somewhere to find seperatists who say they refuse to vote for men. Let's say a tenth of one percent of people who call themselves feminists could hold such a view. Clearly citing one of them to represent feminism in regards to voting for one gender only would obviously be ridiculous.

Sure there are many self called progressives who are proud to not have voted for Hillary. The fact that one can literally track down thousands of them makes it a more tempting linkage to draw. After all almost all of us activist types know at least one person who fits that description. Yeah, but they still represent a very small percentage of people who self describe themselves as progressive. My estimate would be that over one percent may fit that description, but well below ten percent in total. Hell, I've seen Hillary Clinton self describe herself as a progressive, so highlighting an association between progressives and proudly not voting for Hillary is misleading at best and bogus at worst.
