This whole primary exposed a dangerous, and frankly disappointing, strain of anti-intellectualism and reality-denialism among supposed leftists and alleged progressives. It's been quite the education for me, learning that people I thought were allies don't think of me that way. I don't want to associate with "progressives" who malign women, who harass and dox them, who shout women down when they try to speak. Nor with "progressives" who dismiss black voters based on where they live, or older voters just for being older. Those are not progressive values.
And Salon has been at the head of that faux-Left movement, along with HuffPo and every other site dumb it desperate enough to publish The Libertarian HA Goodman. It's far too late to pretend like it never happened.
