Would this have been so horrible?

He LOST badly. No one stopped you from voting for your choice. What you didn't get to do was compel others to vote as you demanded, though we know many tried hard to enforce obedience to Sanders. I know it sucks that other people besides you actually get to vote. You can either deal with it and move on or join with the GOP in stripping away the voting rights act and repealing the 19th amendment, because absent that Bernie was never going to win.


If I were ever to forget why I found that campaign so off-putting, I need only come to DU to remind me of the impenetrable sense of self-entitlement it was based on. Maybe next time you want someone to win, try positive persuasion instead of insisting on absolute deference? Maybe try actually working to turn out voters instead of insulting Democratic voters and ginning up bullshit conspiracy theories to explain a candidate's failures? And in the meantime, stop working so hard to remind people why they disliked your candidate in the first place.

BTW, liberals voted for Clinton. You don't get to argue he would have done better with white male GOP voters and then claim liberals were told to shut up. It is the votes of liberals you are discounting. Sanders stayed in the primary a full three months after it was obvious he couldn't win, and to this day he is front of cameras several times a week. No one shut him or his supporters up. He LOST plain and simple.

Every moronic conspiracy theory about Clinton rigging the elections has been proven for the craven lies they were by the results of the GE. It's time to move on. Christ, you don't see this much whining from Clinton supporters, and the GE was only a couple of weeks ago. It really is pathetic.
