(92,219 posts)lost by less than 1%. Jill Stein received 1% of the vote in each of those CRITICAL SWING STATES
It didn't take much.
With Comey, the media trashing and people like David Sirota, Nina Turner, Briahna Joy Gray, all who VOTED FOR JILL STEIN, and through media outlets, social outlets, and newspapers, encouraged people NOT to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016.
Your characterization that the "moderate lost", which is a bullshit characterization by the way, conveniently leaves out the sabotage, and undermining that these so-called progressives did to influence people NOT to vote for the Democratic nominee, and it didn't take much, 1% in those critical swing states
In addition, every Democrat running for Senate in those critical swing states lost to the incumbent, establishment republican in 2016, and THOSE DEMOCRATS WERE PROGRESSIVE BY ANY STANDARD
When Jill Stein said their is not difference between the republicans and Democrats, and that the Democratic nominee is worse than Donald Trump, that **** THEM.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
