In reply to the discussion: Bernie, you're killin' me. [View all]JCanete
(5,272 posts)73. Well look, I agree with you that if Sanders is talking about the overall results of not just his
primary showing and the path forward for democrats, but the actual whole of the GE results(which I see no evidence for putting at all at Sanders feet), then it takes some pretty rose colored glasses to make the point that the nation as a whole is on the right trajectory. I can appreciate a positive pep-talk, but that is a little hard for me to buy into at this moment. I didn't think that's what he was saying there though.

Most Sanders supporters voting for Clinton, didn't cost us the election -- just a few thousand did.

I don't think so. No one voted for trump based upon Russian lies, unless they were leaning that way
