In reply to the discussion: Go F*ck Yourselves: Bill Maher Goes Off on Liberal Purists Who Didnt Vote for Clinton [View all]WellDarn
(255 posts)It is also a simple fact that, notwithstanding this "organized campaign" of a handful of self-centered nutcases (Yes, Ms. Sarandon, it is easy to talk about "burning it all down" when you aren't he one who has Jeff Sessions' goon squad shooting down your black sons and daughters in the streets), leftists OVERWHELMINGLY stuck with OUR candidate.
(Extrapolating from Michigan numbers) White suburban women (women whom we heavily targeted in the post-primary campaign), HOWEVER, were disloyal to the "n"th degree. 18% of this, the largest demographic group of voters in the election, stabbed us in the back and left the 2008 coalition to vote for Trump..
That is a simple fact as well.
Where are the thousand broad-brushed OP's directing comments like Maher's to that group? Where are the posts questioning why "they" are "hanging around" DU? Where are the posts saying that "they" need to either get behind every candidate with a "D" behind their name or find another party?
Why are leftists, why are working class voters, both of which voted in a majority for OUR candidate, the ones being vilified in the face of this simple fact?
