| Shadow1980 said: Finally, there's the Bernie Bros who either decided to vote third-party or sit at home on election day. 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. |
1. Emails were leaked showing the DNC favored Hillary and were in fact supporting her. They were taken to court over it and they basically said we don't have to be fair. Bernie supports were screwed over a fair primary race. So yes they stayed home and contributed to Hillary losing. That's not butthurt that's refusing to take part in the political game the DNC was playing and that they continue to play. The DNC has been recieving record low donations people are pissed and they refuse to acknowledge it.
2. Polls showed Bernie beating Trump by a wider margin than Hillary. At the end of the day we don't know what would have happened and the DNC contributed in robbing us of really finding out.
3. Any real American would have done the American thing and voted for the candidate they believed in or stayed at home and not vote at all. That's our right as Americans. We're not here to treat the election by saying "Well at least she's not as bad as that guy". If that's how you're voting step your game up and become a real American. Their are third party candidates you don't have to vote for Hillary because they tell you it's a waste. That's how they control the sheep.
