How conveniently you forget the entire US Congress right wing refusing to work with the legitimately elected president of the US and building their entire agenda on defeating him because they disagreed with him.
You don't see that these are progressive tactics because of YOUR bias.
I rarely see the same tactics used on the right. You don't see the online hashtag campaigns that harass and abuse anyone that supports the current progressive narrative.

Heh. You say this as if Trump is illegitimate. A vast majority of Democrats in power are refusing to work with the current legitimate president and sitting on their hands...like children.
Obama was able to pass Obamacare. The only way this was possible was with the support of the Republicans.
Here's the right calling for a boycott of GrubHub, Pepsi, Oreos, and Netflix over slights to Trump: https://thinkprogress.org/trump-pepsi-grubhub-boycotts-ca810...
These are five examples since November. There are thousands. Both sides are equally childish.
"These are five examples since November"
These are boycotts of very large companies, which happen all the time. I'm talking more about the harassment of individuals, the trolling of their employers (to get them fired), and the boycotting of small companies. Most of the info leading the charge for these are based on half-truths, libel, and rumors.
The Mozilla CEO was harassed and fired for donating a small amount of money years earlier to a political campaign. He wasn't harassing or being prejudice against anyone and a reporter had to search long and hard to find out about his political donations. I've never seen anyone on the right single out an individual and get them fired over something like this.
This sort of behavior needs to stop and another problem is that nobody will admit it's an actual problem.
You're the one who started by saying: "I only see this kind of behavior coming from the left."
Which has now evolved into: "I rarely see the same tactics used on the right."
So I guess I made some progress, as a progressive that made my day. Thank you and goodnight.
