That's because they are hypocrites. Hilary lovers aren't left-wing anyway. They're centrists at best. They aren't "liberal" or "progressive" either. Hilary is a Republican masquerading as a "Democrat" (whatever a Democrat actually is, because the mainstream of the party doesn't really stand for anything). If you vote for anybody besides their anointed candidate you are worse than the devil himself. Because, you know, it sucks that we have elections rather than "selections".
Hilary gets supposedly left-wing people to defend the most insane things. Hillary supporters defend selling weapons to al-Saud because Hilary did so, they defend drone strikes because Hilary loves drone strikes and she gets them defend the cooperation state. If it's a Republican starting wars and being a crony capitalist then go crazy. But it's Hilary and damn we need our first female president no matter who it is. I can just imagine it was Eva Braun running for president and they still be like "she's a woman so you have to vote for her or else!"
