    Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

    Not wrong there…

      There is an alternate universe where the DNC didn’t fuck bernie in 2016 and Trump wasn’t the 45th and probs wouldn’t be the 47th either

      Yeah, that’s true. But going on to say ‘therefore support Trump’ is … not good.

      I think it’s unwise for Proton to try to support any political party. Agreeing or disagreeing with decisions and policies is fair and good; but to say “this is the party who supports the little guy” is a bullshit and unnecessarily divisive.

          Both times, just like the other times, the candidate they chose won the popular vote on primaries. Your idea that they were unpopular go directly against the only available way to actually check the popularity of the candidate.
          Voting population of the US is just deeply racist, sexist, and stupid, but that’s besides the point.
