That’s the main problem with Progressives... facts have no actual value to them. In fact, nothing has value to them. They are total Nihilists. So when you present facts to them it has no impact. And for them there is no appreciable difference between lying and the truth... they are essentially the same thing to them.

David Horowitz wrote about Hillary and her college thesis

The title of Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause – his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action – whether civil rights or women’s rights – is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power. Battles over rights and other issues, according to Alinsky, should never be seen as more than occasions to advance the real agenda, which is the accumulation of power and resources in radical hands. Power is the all-consuming goal of Alinsky’s politics
To a real progressive, there is no truth nor falsity. There is only "What can I say which will advance my goals?"

Exactly! Thanks for that info!

Progressives have no principles. They only have goals.
