I'm not asking why they are liberal, that's obvious. I'm talking about why they are usually such die-hard loyalists for the actual Democratic Party ala me and Lief and thus Hillary, instead of criticizing her from the left and only reluctantly accepting her, and almost no Bernie or Bust types.

I mostly ask because I've noticed lately my Facebook feed is full of not only Trump bashing but bashing of third parties, and posts linking to liberal sites debunking leftist attacks on Hillary and no posts along the lines of "Yeah I'm voting for Hillary even though she is terrible..." I saw that stuff during the primary, but it basically disappeared once Bernie endorsed her.

And keep in mind, polls show most Millennials don't like Hillary still and are only reluctantly voting for her.

It's 2 days before the election.  This strikes me as a "rally around the flag" type effect, especially considering how few Bernie supporters are actually not supporting Hillary.

Lief is a Christian?!  Sad

Probably about as "Christian" as BRTD.

Sad, indeed.

Would you take my conservative, quasi-Calvinist (though believing in unlimited atonement) Christianity to BRTD's then? Wink

"The Christian Left" Facebook page was subtly pro-Bernie during the primaries, if memory serves, fwiw.

Politically or for ecumenical/'fellowship' purposes? If the latter, then yeah, absolutely.
