    The good thing about both parties hating progressives is that no one circles the wagons to protect progressives.

    Anthony Weiner was immediately persona non grata when his allegations came out.

    Progressive perverts get no protection because both parties want them gone, so there’s no backlog.

    Meanwhile, republicans and centrists alike participated in a culture of protecting reprehensible predators in order to hold on to power that might otherwise be vested in people who give a shit about the poor.

    There is some credit to be given in that no one seems to be circling the wagons for clinton now, but he’s already served his purpose: 8 years of triangulating with the right.

    Wonder how many centrists are sitting in awkward silence and how much of the “fine, lock clinton up too” sentiment is coming from progressives.
