Don't claim to be progressive and then support what would be a conservative coup of the very fabric of the country. The independent guy lost after trying to sneak in through the side door, even he's said how catastrophic a Trump victory would be. But this has turned into Tyler Durden and Project Mayhem as it seems not even the guy who started the movement can now keep control of his neophytes.

yup and not just the supreme court.
He would be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. and he would appoint all Supreme Court justices and all other federal judges, the NLRB board, the EPA chief, the Attorney General, etc. If the Republican Congress passes laws to repeal Obamacare, cut taxes on the rich, limit or prevent immigration from certain areas, etc., he would be the only one who could veto that.
I guess I would describe anyone who cares about progressive issues but uses their vote to make a Trump win marginally more likely by voting for a 3rd party candidate would be acting very selfishly and/or recklessly.
