"The nihilistic purity of the far left will kill us all."

quote [ I’ve been angry and disgusted about a lot of things since Election Day. But over the past few days I’ve been angrier than Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining to see all these so-called “progressives” come out of the fucking woodwork to crucify Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) for voting against one amendment to a budget reconciliation bill that could have allowed Americans to buy cheaper imported prescription drugs from Canada — even though the amendment wasn’t going to become law ]

I'm not sure I endorse these sentiments, but let's have a spirited discussion about them!

Most of the people supporting Bernie would have happily also voted for someone like Warren, or any other progressive. This wasn't a Sanders/Clinton split, it was a progressive/neoliberal split.

I couldn't agree more with you on obstructionism. The left needs to take the gloves off and stop trying to deal reasonably with unreasonable people.
