While Bernie supporters and independents are like -- see Hillary has always been in bed with neo cons, true cons. Hillary is raising money now from the never trump folks.

Is Hillary really a progressive when many #Iamwithher right wing nuts support her? This ad just reinforced that Hillary is another neo con -- she is not that different from Bush.[/quote]

I don't really get the point of this line of reasoning.  If the only acceptable Democratic candidate is one that right-leaning Americans (which are about half the country) wouldn't support, then is the goal never to have another Democrat in the Oval Office?  I would love to see Clinton continue to pursue progressive policies, and I think Obama has pursued policies that are at least informed by progressive ideas.  Not everyone in the country is a progressive, just like not everyone is a reactionary conservative.  The latter is why Ted Cruz would've had a hard time winning the Presidency if he had been the nominee (and why he didn't win it)...and the former is why Democrats have chosen Clinton over Sanders.

The extreme right wing has disproportional representation in Congress, if you ask me.  But I don't see nearly enough progressives taking up the mantle to build their faction on the left. [/quote]
