A Trumpist once told me the left lost because America rejected progressivism . Then i would love him to explain why Bernie is so beloved and progressive ideas are so popular with the general public . Just because good idea don't wind up winning the election does not make them unpopular .

I never get how Conservatives can like Superman . 

He's refugee 

He punches Nazi's and racists 

And his arch nemesis is a rich white CEO
