I've never seen that much butthurt over a candidate losing the primary in my lifetime. It's not like the Dems pulled a Hubert Humphrey and put in a candidate that primary voters didn't support. Hillary got the most delegates. Bernie did better than anyone expected and showed that America may be ready for a real left-wing populist, but, unlike Obama, he never had the support of a majority of Democratic primary voters. Bernie Bros can make up all the excuses they want, but even in a squeaky clean primary Bernie would have lost. And when he lost, any real progressive worth his salt would have bit the bullet and pulled the lever for Hillary Rodham Clinton on election day, because no reasonable, thinking person who's left-of-center would ever think that she would be just as bad as Trump. |
Blah double post sorry.
