There is so much wrong with everything you say. Regarding, "It was obvious who was worse" No. It really wasn't. Regarding, "ALWAYS choose the lesser of two evils. PERIOD!" No. I won't. Because I refuse to support evil. Is it really so difficult to understand why supporting evil is wrong? Because to me that concept is pretty self-evident. Regarding, "At least with HC some progressive agena would have succeeded." There is NOTHING progressive about Hillary and her agenda and for you to suggest there this is absurd. One of the reasons I'm actually happy with Trump being president is because sheep you will cry, whine and bitch about Trump being president but, if Hillary were president you would go to sleep and justify all the terrible shit she would be doing in office the same way Trump supporters are justifying the terrible shit he is doing. Regarding, "With Trump, America has slid backward" America has been sliding backward for quite a long time. You know who shares a lot of the blame for that? Bill Clinton. Repeal of glass steagal, outsourcing jobs, mass incarceration with the omnibus crime bill, in general neoliberal policies. If you think America wouldn't have slid backward with a different disgrace like Hillary then you are an idiot. Regarding, "it will take many years to see any progess now" You know another reason why I'm happy Trump is president? Because with him in office there is hope for an actual progressive president in 2020. With Hillary Clinton that would not be possible. But you go ahead and continue to support shit as long as you think it smells better than different shit. You give them no reason to offer you anything other than shit. You fail to realize that the election of the moment isn't the only thing to think about. You need to think about every other election yet to come. And in every other election yet to come you give them no reason to try and earn your vote. They know you are going to give it to them regardless.

In an election between Hitler and Pol Pot bob would happily be either a Hitler or Pol Pot supporter. He would even try to shame people who didn't support one or the other because he is a good sheep happy to do the establishment's bidding.

Steve regarding, "Hillary Clinton was president Bernie’s chances of being president would have been less" It would have been essentially nil. It is not uncommon for incumbents to essentially run unopposed in their primary. Regarding, "I would much have preferred if Bernie spoke out about the rigging of the democratic primary or bias of the dnc whatever the term of cheating is." He has. That said there is a legit case to make that he should have done more. But let's be real... the people that still think the primary was fair aren't all of sudden going to be swayed by anything Sanders says on the topic. Regarding, "him supporting Hillary didn’t really do anything except turn people off." Sanders is all about trying to get the policies he wants implemented. Endorsing Hillary was an indirect way of doing this. He is currently the most popular politician in the country and much of his power is because he bit the bullet and did what he did. Even after endorsing her team Hillary tried to blame him for her losing. The reason those attacks are ineffective is because he didn't give them ammo to use. Had he not endorsed her and Trump won all the attacks and efforts to try and blame him would have been successful. He, his policies, and the movement he started would have all suffered a terrible blow. Because he did what he did Hillary is rightfully blamed for her loss (despite the idiotic original posters attempt to shift blame). Regarding, "I’ll be ready for him come 2020 though." 2020 can't come soon enough for me. He is the best hope the country has to get the progressive policies we desperately need. But it isn't going to be easy. There is going to be a war fought. The establishment will do anything and everything to try and stop him (as they did in 2016) but I am hopeful that 2020 will be different because of his current popularity and name recognition. Two assets he didn't have in 2016.
