In reply to the discussion: Eleanor Clift: Will Obama Ever 'Fess Up to His Merrick Garland Mess? [View all]EffieBlack
(14,249 posts)I distinctly - very distinctly - recall asking Bernie supporters who were all about their "revolution" why Bernie and his crew didn't start the revolution right then and gather their forces to demand a hearing and vote on Garland.
I was pretty much told to go pound sand. Apparently, they had more important things to do than to waste time fighting for a nominee they thought wasn't liberal enough for them and would only be replaced by Bernie once he won the presidency.
So, people can spare me the "Obama and the Senate leadership should have fought harder for Garland" Monday morning quarterbacking. I'm not interested in folks who weren't motivated to and didn't make any effort to put their skin in the game back then beating up on our leaders for not taking up a cause in which our base evidenced little to no interest at the time.
