Give the people what they want.
I thought that when Trump won, the left would finally realize that being arrogant, lying, authoritarians was a mistake. Boy was I wrong. We're seeing thousands protest over travel restrictions from 9 countries, meanwhile the US under Obama has has an international no-fly list with very little over-sight for years. Obama and Clinton wanted to use the no-fly list as a basis for banning people from owning a firearm. tha…
Progressives have always been unhappy with things like warrantless spying, the no fly list, using drones to bomb weddings and funerals because someone on a 'kill list' is a relative. Progressives have been deeply disappointed with Obama for continuing these policies. And have warned that normalizing these policies is handing the next administration a loaded gun. In that we think the wannabe 'centrist' and 'corporate'…

Progressives have been deeply disappointed with Obama for continuing these policies. Continuing and extending, you mean. It was like a great wall of noise suddenly disappeared the day Obama was inaugurated. They may have been disappoint…
That's a very unfair allegation towards the progressive wing of the party, most of whom uniformly opposed Hillary Clinton 2008 and again in 2016. Breaking for Obama and then Sanders.
