1. Oh, certainly. They are highly offended by the idea that Hillary would extend Obama's policies.

They're both the establishment, you know. They're everything that's wrong with the world.

They also love to use "Obama's third term" in a derogatory manner.

... that many of the same posters here who have posted nothing but anti-Obama/anti-Dem posts for years are now posting nothing but anti-HRC/anti-Dem posts.

Pure coincidence.

...it was to read bad things about republicans back when we were proud 10%ers. You really have to search for that kind of content these days.

9. Yeah, it's 90% Clinton hate by Sandernistas now.

I'll be so glad come June 14th when the DC primary is over and all the Clinton hate will no longer be allowed.

Seems they've forgotten the original purpose of this site — to get Dems elected, not to tear them down.

No Democrat is ever good enough. Too hot, too cold, too big, too small...

The best thing that could happen to Bernie - not getting elected president!

Emo Progressive

Note: This term was seen as divisive and has been superseded by Puritopian.

Emo Progressive (or "emoprog&quot is a self-described liberal or progressive, often with libertarian leanings, whose political orientation is to be angry, dissatisfied and unhappy with the state of the nation at any given time, because in their view, liberal policies are not being implemented quickly or forcefully enough. They have particular contempt for Democratic presidents.

Emoprogs are ideological purists who disdain compromise and incremental change, which they see as "selling out" liberal ideas like full employment, an end to all wars, state secrets, and liberal social policy.

Emoprogs dislike Republicans but reserve their greatest disdain for Democratic presidents, whom they relentlessly attack for not meeting a set of ideological goal posts that are constantly adjusted to ensure that the president will be deemed a disappointment, "not progressive enough" or "just like a Republican" no matter what policy achievements are made.

Emoprogs routinely dismiss or ignore congress' role in making or impeding policy, believing presidents can simply "use the bully pulpit" and "fight" in order to overcome constitutional or legislative obstacles.

Emoprogs have a strong affinity for 3rd party politics as a way to punish Democratic presidents. They are especially hostile to President Obama and deem anyone who expresses a lack of ill will toward him to be "Obamabots" and enemies of liberalism.

This isn't like the last time we elected a brand new President........george w. was a disgrace, Obama has been great. The AA vote is he reason why both Sanders and trump will lose to Clinton.
