78. He did the best thing possible for pushing progressive policies

“We have made enormous strides,” said Sanders in a statement issued after a meeting in Orlando that swung the party in his direction on the minimum wage, climate change and marijuana though failed to make headway on fracking and trade.

“Thanks to the millions of people across the country who got involved in the political process – many for the first time – we now have the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic party,” he said.



Those few concessions were important to get to many of us here. And Hillary bending to those, did nothing towards her "losing". No Hillary voter suddenly decided that, while they believed in her and rejected the fake news about her, and were all set to vote for her, but then she moved slightly to the left on the minimum wages, climate change, and pot, and decided she wasn't worth their vote anymore. That is preposterous.
