The "progressives" caused us to lose in 2000. I've only ever found one who said supporting Nader instead of Gore was a mistake. In 2016 18% of Bernie voters ended up voting for Trump. Any apologies ever? Nope! They sat it out last time too. They never learn and never change. Right now David Hogg is leading them with the message that Dems aren't fighting back. Now they have an excuse. Just blame the whole party for the actions of a few and voila! They can go against the party again. They never learn and never care who they hurt.
