racist, sexist, bigot, and yet they still pushed the LIE that there was no difference between republicans and Democrats. Cornel West actually came around on Bill Maher's show an admitted that Trump was far worse that Hillary. As far as I am aware the others not only do not admit that, but they have doubled down on their outrageous false equivalencies, all in an effort to spew their delusions about this nebulous revolution. Stein and Sarandon have doubled and tripled down with their continued spewing how if Hillary was President, we would be in a war by now, and Stein still maintains that Russia had no involvement in spite of what has transpired.

That is NOT well-meaning. There was intent to encourage people not to vote for the Democratic nominee, and spew the LIE that the Democratic nominee was worse than trump. Not only did they know better, but they wanted the results that transpired in 2016, and they expressed a perversed sense of satisfaction, believing their revolution would now occur.

What they will rightly be remembered for is influencing thousands of people to NOT vote for the Democratic nominee, and by doing so helping create what we have today.

I won't even dignify them as progressive, because NO REAL progressive would do actions that help propel a racist, sexist, bigot into the WH. They can't wash their hands clean and say they bear no responsibility for what happened. That was Ralph Nader's line in 2000
