its no longer merely progressive, but ultra-leftist. I think campus uber-progressivity is both bad for the world when they get out into the workforce, as well as making millennials too idealistic to vote for come out for and vote for mainstream candidates, helping to elect Trump.

Also, if there are some people thinking to themselves "how could ANY Jews defend Bannon given his private comments?" People like Joy Karega all over the country acting in the name of progressivism and having done so for at 15+ years now are why there are some Jews not getting all hepped up over private convo. There's a lot wrong with Bannon, like the trolls he allows to live on Breitbart's Disqus boards, but sorry, he's nothing close to Karega. Of course, Obama never put or tried to put anyone in his cabinet with such views as Karega, but my point is that the progressive claim to defending Jews has been considerably weakened bc of the far left.
