(27,814 posts)... this totally unsubstantiated belief that "the far left" are all Bernie supporters.
I have news for you: Many of us on the "far left" are HRC supporters. Many of us who are true progressives are HRC supporters. Many of us who want to see positive change in the Party are HRC supporters.
The totally ridiculous meme that all HRC supporters are status quo-loving, warmongering, corporatist- embracing 1%ers was laughable at the outset - and has become more so as the primary process progressed.
As a member of the "far left", I can assure you that most of us just didn't buy what Bernie was selling. That's why we supported the candidate who knows the difference between spewing talking points and actually DOING something that advances our goals.
The idea that the "far left" were all BS supporters is beyond laughable. But I understand people who need to cling to that idea - as ludicrous as it is.
