Exactly! With 'friends' like these, who needs enemies? It is time to face up to the fact that these so-called progressives aren't worth chasing. I have written elsewhere that I think we would do better to chase disenfranchised voters than the unicorn left - we should build up a fifty-state network that works to get people registered to vote, making it easier, and even compensate them for lost wages if that is legal. A non-profit organisation, whose only goal is to register people to vote, streamlining the process in each state, and informing everyone of their rights. The repukes only win if the turnout is low.
Let the alt left and the white working class wallow in the mess they have made - their votes aren't worth chasing, for they voted based on sexism, racism, and homophobia. We're never going to win them, so we should use our precious resources on them. Disenfranchised minorities, on the other hand, they are worth the effort.
