(31,180 posts)Perhaps, sir, you might have done less to stir baseless, intractable, irrational hatred for our nominee in the first place. Maybe you could have been less egotistical and let go of your pride; and perhaps worked harder to ensure the most brutally obvious race-baiting, misogynistic, detestable person to ever run, did NOT win the office.
I supported Sanders' contribution to the platform and was HAPPY about it. I feel now his resentful reflex of disdain for anyone with more knowledge/authority/experience than he had colored his thoughts about Hillary from the beginning. He wanted airtime for the ideas he has been pushing in speeches for 40 years.
I think ego prevented him from giving his full effort to the ticket that could carry his platform forward and stop Trump tyranny.
As he is not a Democrat, and he has called for the diminishment of women and minorities in our party, his voice should wither and fade. The sooner, the better.
