The top comment right now says

>It's a choice between center-right "left" that's sold out to the establishment and the far right.

I came here hoping there would be a more open discussion then on reddit, but it's the same crowd.

I've become beyond paranoid, there is clearly some secret IRC channel where the alt-right that are too sophisticated for 4chan are coordinating. The pile-on in HN has become like an intellectualized version of Facebook comments at this point

To be fair, the view that the modern Democratic party is center-right isn't one exclusively held by the alt-right, but something that's held by the progressive left as well. HRC didn't only lose because of a resurgence of the populist right, but because of an enormous drop-off in left-leaning political support.
