You are witnessing the first "Stochastic Smearjob"

108. It is a canard to claim anyone who opposes HRC is a "purist"

If the party is a big tent, why have the DNC been throwing out the liberals for 25 years. Your claim that the DNC is inclusive and liberals are exclusive stands reality on its head. The only terms under which liberals are allowed into the tent is complete submission to whatever self-serving lie the Third Way is telling this week.

So wanting the country to get better is "an everyman fantasy". Well thank you Mr. I've Got Mine Jack. You show complete contempt for the base of the party and everyone who is attracted to Trump and think it is a virtue. You are either really warped or a complete fraud.

The world is evolving. Right, that is just happening. No agency there. It is the impersonal forces of history. Where have I heard that before? Gee, your last paragraph sounds exactly like Joe Stalin's spiel on "dying classes".

The growth of the power of the Soviet State will intensify the resistance of the dying classes

Yes. Machines are coming. But, it is the political terms on which we deal with that fact which will make us free men or slaves. Neoliberals want the 99% completely disenfranchised, with no say in the policies that redistribute wealth. Neoliberalism is the same bullshit economic determinism that Marxism was. Sheldon Wolin calls it "inverted totalitarianism".

Your words convict you of being a cruel, anti-social neoliberal. But, you claim we are the purists. What a fucking joke you are.
