(14,391 posts)Given a roster of Democrats, I'll go for the most progressive. I was okay with Hillary running... and then Bernie threw his hat in the ring, and I was ecstatic. But the Hillary supporters were like "What?? Who the f*** does he think he is??" and immediately set about dismissing him, chastising his supporters, and eventually doing Rovian attacks on him and all that. And the policy ideas that he espouses are pretty much the kind of things I thought *all* DUers were in favor of not too long ago, but now Hillary supporters claim it's all pie-in-the-sky unicorn fart-dust. Like they always thought single-payer was stupid, money doesn't corrupt, or centrism is the perfect form of liberalism -- instead of only recently coming to these conclusions... around the time Hillary started to have to defend herself against Bernie.
