I agree with most of your points. 

It's absolutely absurd when one of the talking heads claims that the Democratic party has shifted to the left. Hardly. The Democratic party has shifted to a center/ right party and the republican party has shifted so far right it went over the cliff a couple decades ago. Conservatives consider anyone that doesn't agree with their extremism as a leftist...rendering the term meaningless. 

But anyone that headed "over into crazy land" to hook up with the Trump circus was never a true progressive in the first place...rather just someone that wants change for the sake of change. There can be no justification for any thinking person to go on over to Trump just because their guy Bernie didn't win. Hell, even Bernie blasted those folks.
