In reply to the discussion: To Sanders supporters FROM a Sanders supporter: please stop saying Bernie should've got the nom. [View all]Gothmog
(145,950 posts)Again, for this straw man to have any merit, you have to show than anyone but a sanders supporter really believed that Sanders could be the nominee or win the general. Sanders was not vetted at all by the press because in the real world no one took Sanders seriously. All Sanders did was help trump get elected.
I am amused to see that you are refusing to talk about the actions of the Sanders supporters including (i) the attacks on Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign by Sanders supporters, (ii) the conduct of the Sanders delegates at the national convention and the fact that BOB types were selected over Sanders supporters would not state that they hated the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton, (iii) the attacks by Sanders supporters on John Lewis including booing John Lewis at the national convention, and (iv) the help that Sanders gave to trump to help turmp win. If you want to heal the party you should address these issues
