(29,157 posts)but they were wrong. I supported Bernie, but would never say never to Hillary, why would I? But I see it here all the time.. never Bernie. Really? If he somehow became the nominee? I see almost no chance of that happening, but will not say "never" to any candidate that challenges this madness.
And yes, people not voting did get us into this mess, but I don't believe Bernie supporters didn't vote.. they voted, and overwhelmingly voted for Hillary.. over 95% of them. A rigged election and 46% of voters not voting gave us trump. 46% of American voters felt they had nothing to vote for or just didn't care. People supporting Bernie were woke and active and didn't sit it out. That's a fact, and few voted 3rd party. Stop blaming Bernie and his supporters, of which I was one, for this.
I don't blame Bernie or Hillary. Hillary blames herself more than she should. She ran a conventional campaign against an insane opponent and a media that loved the insanity more than the fucking truth. She said in her book she should have turned on him when he stalked her around the stage. She's right, she should have, but I get it. I'm her age, grew up same as her. Adults just don't act like that. This is a race for POTUS and requires dignity and policy. But that's not true in America anymore and now we know that. Can you imagine if she had confronted him when he was stalking her on the stage. Really confronted him. He would have withered like dead weed.
