| Panda718 said: About 85-90% of Bernie voters in the primary voted for Clinton in the general. I along with a dozen members of my family fall into that group. And that roughly the same percentage of Clinton supporters who ended voting for obama in 2008 after their primary. Bernie or buster were a very small percentage of the populate. And I understand the elections were very close in certain states, but I will still fault the 40% percent that did not vote then the 1% of 3rd party voters or Bernie or buster. The divide seems much worse then it is due to social media. |
I agree. Social media amplifies the perception of political divide. When you sit down with the same individuals one-on-one you discover that you're ideologies aren't that far off. On social media people have an apparent vested interest in their stated positions and end up in shouting matches over issues they aren't actually that passionate about in everyday life.
