It's understandable, though.

Look at it this way: Schumer was right. Dems collected 3 million more votes than Pubs.
I'm looking at how well tRump has worked out over the past year.

Carry on.

Poor dear. Still can't get past the fact that Trump won.

You dared in at least 100+ posts, people to come here on Nov 9th, in fallacious response as to why Hillary would be the next President. You lost.

Trump won bigly. He got won the popular vote in 50% more states than Hillary. Landslide win. Something you insisted wouldn't happen.

So now all you have are links to cartoons, quotes from crying Chuck Schumer, and tweener plays with the capital letters

They have completely given up on the white working class vote, which at one point was their bedrock. They have even lost the union vote in many states. They're just relying on demographic changes at this point. I can't believe anyone still votes for them look at the shape most blue states are in compared to red states. Texas, Florida, Georgias, Carolina, Dakotas, mid-west are EATING blue state's lunch. Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, Hawaii, California, Rhode Island are bankrupt and losing population/capital to red/purple states in large numbers.

However, the mistake Schumer and the Democrats made was that they could have both the suburbanites as well as the blue collar folks if they moderated their message with less Identity Politics. It was a major gaff by the Dems.
That's exactly right. That type of progressive is a sheeple.

The Democrats have given up on working people. Instead they are catering to welfare trash and the spoiled elite. The people they ignore the most are those that work every day and earn a living. The Democrats of today are hardly the Democrats of 50 years ago.

"Progressive" means we want our country progress into a viable future. That's the natural evolutionary path of any living organism. Progress is essential to survival.

You guys, on the other hand, wish to take us back to a time when the country was under the authority of a plutocracy and unrestricted capitalism. A time when the common worker had no rights and the employer could treat his employees with little or no regard. No one wants to go back to that. It's evidenced by people turning against the GOP lately because the veil has been take off their plan and they don't like what they see.

So, yeah, your definition of "progressive" is completely bogus, as are 99.9% of your posts here. Oh and your assertion that progressives are violent...

Wasn't the economy going to crash after Trump won the election?

Remember when Obama was supposed to fix the economy when it went to a nasty recession? He didn't do anything to help besides blame everything on Bush.
