We don't have to make up a word for that. We've had one for a long time. Scumbag.
Every time Trump or the Nutcase Right does something reprehensibile, which is, of course, regularly, the slithering sinkholes try to pin it on Bernie and his supporters. Not only is this a lowlife move, it's also incredibly idiotic.
Today, Armando has a post that suggests that, had everyone on the so-called Left sufficiently "feared" a Trump presidency and united behind Hillary and voted her in, what? Racism would somehow be better and a psychotic nutjob wouldn't have driven a car into a crowd of people?
Naw. I'm convinced that Armando isn't really that dumb. No, all the evidence points to this latest round of attacks on progressives is just a continuation of the previous rounds of attacks.
It doesn't matter what words you use. "Alt-Left" or "True Progressive." It's always been about the exact same thing. Try to marginalize anyone who doesn't want to buy the shit the establishment Democrats are selling.
Since the beginning of this website, there has always been the antidisestablishment contingent, roaming like a pack of dogs, attacking anyone who dares to demand more. This crowd can be identified by a single marker: their single biggest problem in this whole fucked up world, is not childhood poverty, or the lack of living wage jobs, or violations of our civil rights by the surveillance state, and any of a long list of injustices.
No, their biggest problem is True Progressives. People who dare to challenge the leadership of our party and demand better.
This latest tactic of trying to frame the opposition to Trump as an obligitory endorsement of the establishment Democrats (We must unite!!! We must resist!!!) is nothing new. What is new, to a large extent, is the fact that it no longer seems to work.
Your political tactic of trying to scold and shame anyone who doesn't subscribe to your childlike, binary conception of the conflict between the oppressors and the opressed is not only failing, it is making matters worse.
In other words, running around trying to blame everything on Bernie and the "Alt-Left" isn't winning votes. It's just making people hate you.
Daily Kos, it's proprieter, staff and a large segment of its users, have become a liability for the Democratic party.
Thinking the path to electoral victory includes insulting independents, undecideds and "the Left" is nothing short of moronic.
Please, stop electing Republicans and just shut the fuck up.
