Would you say that a probable Hilary win is a progressive win? I agree that progressives should vote to prevent what's lurking in the background, but the progressive cause was already lost when Hilary got nominated.
I don't know that it was lost. It was certainly not helped, but I don't think Hillary is anti-progressive. Progressives influenced the party to adopt the most progressive platform ever, and incremental gains are how social movements happen. Always. We always want them to happen now, but they never do. They always take years if not decades.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
