(14,173 posts)Dissappointed in the sense that the candidate you may have worked for, donated to, did not win. Not that the other won. Surely, even if not yourself, you can see that many Hillary supporters would have been, at the moment, very disappointed had Bernie managed to sweep her at the end in NY and Californiia, and walk away with the leadership.
Anyways, you seem to be blaming her loss on a small segment of people who said they were voting for Bernie, and when he lost instead voted for Trump. Do you honestly think these people ever would have voted for Hillary had Bernie not run? Sorry , I do not. Because of that they did not have any impact. Its disturbing to read bitter posts that use this false meme as a scapegoat for their anger. Not to mention that you would blame Bernie simply for running and opening eyes and giving people a choice.
The reasons she lost I listed in a previous post. I want to move on as well so I resist being consumed with blaming Hillary for a) for having such an unfair advantage over Sanders before the race even began, b) working with the DNC to sabotage Bernies campaign c) That she lost after we could have had a candidate IMO that would have won the White House.
And if I and the vast majority of Bernie supporters can get over our disappointment and blame, ongoing throughout the process and ended up backing Hillary, we don't want to hear fake and resentful statements like She would have won if it weren't for Bernie. Can we at least start there?
