There seems to be a few people who are quite frankly losing their shit over a tweet from Kos. Personally I think maybe it was a bit harsh, but I can’t disagree with his point there is an element of the left that took a very hardline stance against Hillary Clinton in the last election. I was attacked more than once on Yahoo, and other sites by progressives some of whom were Bernie followers for my support of Hillary during the election, a few of the criticisms were borderline unhinged rants. They were so vehemently opposed to her that they chose to either vote for Stein or Johnson or not vote at all which helped put a sociopath in the White House. Look at the final vote tally for several of the swing states and had half the people who voted for the “independent” candidates voted for Hillary she would be president and anyone who thinks she would be as bad as trump, then you are beyond reasoning with. I’m not here to trash Bernie or his followers I like the guy and some his policies and had he won the nomination I wouldn’t have hesitated to vote for him, but to pretend that there weren’t progressives that were exactly like what Kos was talking about is shortsighted.
I would never pretend that Hillary was a perfect candidate those don’t exist outside of a vacuum, but everything Bernie said shouldn’t be chiseled on to a stone tablet either. If you honestly believe your candidate is without flaws then again you have some issues, because that’s exactly how the hardcore trump supporters think. Politics isn’t about finding a candidate that believes exactly the way you do trust me after forty years in politics it doesn’t happen, it’s about finding one that has more pluses than minuses. If you want to be pissed at Kos be pissed at him, but he isn’t wrong. The only way to affect change is from the inside and to get there we can’t throw away elections like we did last year.
