Are Sanders Supporters Hurting Their Candidate?

[MisterP]

149. oh yeah, we see this with the puny turnout at speeches, the weak showing in straw polls,

the listeners walking away disgusted because they hate business as usual but not THAT much, the voters and advisers swearing they'll be DAMNED if they vote for someone who has any sort of contrast with the other candidate: they don't want a billion-dollar campaign but a 50-state campaign is no better in the end

and Sanders's "not criticizing Clinton" directly is immediately followed by slamming every inane and vicious policy she's supported, the party's whole M.O. of "if you don't applaud the REPUBLICANS WIN boola boola!" and the corrupt, putrefying, utterly bankrupt party institution that she represents to all but the squealing Beliebers

that whole "me so liberal, me so Democratic, me so pro-Sanders, unlike you self-sabotaging swine" schtick was annoying and unconvincing from the get-go, BTW
