What don't Bernie Bros. understand or believe in?Agreed. I guess my point is that the "left" is comprised of two ideologies which, at their core, are not compatible. Whereas the "right" is more conducive to comparability.
Both Socialism and Progressive Liberalism looks to the state to ensure liberty for all citizens, but disagree on what exactly that means.
I think in the current American left people are unaware of those differences and take Socialism to be simply a "more progressive" version of Progressivism. That debate loses the plot, though, and doesn't address why the left has been hopelessly divided since the beginning of modern mass politics; why "Bernie Bro's" would refuse to vote for Hillary....
Ultimately, I don't believe "Bernie Bro's" are actually Socialists (in the exact meaning the phrase), and I think they're hurting the cause of Progressive Liberalism by taking a moral stance that they don't necessarily understand, let alone believe in.
Although they may differ ethics and values are a part of all professions.
