(62,325 posts)which endorsed the Republican, telling the voters 'she has no chance of winning'. When progressives objected, demanded that the party support her rather than the Republican, they were told how 'naive' they were, that 'Christie was so great on Sandy he was unbeatable' which was a LIE since there was already so much anger about the Christie administration's handling of Sandy that any Dem who actually WANTED to support their own candidate would have been beating the drums on. Instead the party refused to finance the Progressive and 61 Dems in NJ ENDORSED the Republican. Seems to me that the NJ Dems didn't want the progressive and made sure she wasn't going to win. NOT the voters. Hopefully the voters have learned a lesson now and will look at the Candidates next time instead of listening to propaganda.
Please, just stop trying to push that talking point here. Are you aware that this is what right wingers have always done, to say that the country doesn't want progressive policies and that we have been proving them wrong for more than a decade? Why is this appearing on Democratic forums now? Is it that you actually believe it? If so, you can relax, pssst, it isn't true!
