(27,835 posts)... doesn't change the facts. You are pigeon-holing Democrats in order to make the case that "centrists won" by not nominating your candidate-of-choice - which ignores the fact that the majority of Democrats didn't want him as their nominee.
Your would-be candidate lost - and those Democrats who chose HRC instead of him are not all centrists, nor do they belong in whatever cutesy little categories you've created in your own mind.
Yes, Hillary lost - and why she lost is becoming abundantly clear.
You can blame your "progressive candidate's" loss of the nomination on centrists - or whatever other category you think some Dems fall into. That doesn't change the fact that such categorization is ridiculous, and your preferred candidate lost by virtue of NOT being the choice of the vast majority of the Party, regardless of which "category" you've personally decided they belong in.
"Blame the centrists!" is blatantly divisive. It assumes that your "progressive candidate" would have won the GE (he wouldn't have), and seeks to place the blame for his alleged GE loss (which never happened) on Democrats.
Your candidate-of-choice LOST the primary - isn't it time to accept that fact and stop pretending that he would have won the GE?
