17. That comes off as a really dumb comment, in need of reflection and rewrite.

Just like there were Rigid HRC supporters who would never question her actions or those of her inner circle, the converse are the JPR loons who performed the same function for Sanders. Instead of questioning the person or people of the party, they also took everything as gospel too. Just because someone favors one candidate or another, we must question everything and stay true to ourselves.

Since HRC won, the SBS fringe was purged. Had SBS won, the same thing would have happened to the HRC fringe.

I've seen people here flip completely, because their chosen candidate took a different path. Instead of resisting the change, they went along with it, not because it's who they were, but they morphed into accepting without question their candidate. That's not a good way to be or live.

And, with all of that, the final reason HRC lost was she chose Tim Kaine instead of SBS as VP pick. TheBlackAdder Dec 2016 #19

Comey, Voter suppression, Russia..., all else is guessing uponit7771 Dec 2016 #21

There is no hypothetical, as the need for strict moderation encompassed both primary camps. TheBlackAdder Dec 2016 #39
