The way it seems to be shaping up I see more fractures on the liberal side than anywhere else. Hordes of people are either threatening to sit out the election, or to "let it burn" to "teach everyone a lesson", or to vote for someone they write in, like Jill Stein, or Barney the Purple Dinosaur. And the specter of a Bloomberg distraction campaign looms ever present as well.
Liberals are apparently genetically incapable of achieving unity.
They'd rather spend the rest of their life living under an 80 percent ultra conservative Supreme Court majority than allow their high standards to be sullied by a candidate they don't approve of. That applies almost equally to both Bernie partisans and Hillary partisans alike.
The Tea Party sweep of 2010, and the 2014 Republican takeover of both houses in Congress...
If you sat home, or whined about not getting your dream team, you built that.
And if you pull the same stunt this November, when you see the Trump swastika rise above New York City like a Bat Signal for Skinheads, or a giant crucifix coming out of the Gulf of Mexico, yeah...you built that, too.
