Sorry, Bernie but the Democrats know whose side they are on and whose side they have always been on

119. Right, but electoral college (which is what matters) was winnable too.

I think some Hillary fans who don't like Bernie object to the "Republicans didn't win, Dems lost" idea because they see an implication of "Dems lost because they picked the wrong candidate," and sure, there is a case to be made that Bernie would have been better positioned to win the rust belt states that swung the election. But to me, that's not the point, because Hillary, too, could have won. I think she and the party failed to commit enough resources and sufficiently address the voters in those states. So I don't see this as either a Bernie or a Hillary thing. No matter which way you look at it, the Dem party messed up, i.e. we could have won this election, it was ours to lose, regardless of whether we ran Hillary or Bernie, because of how bad a candidate Trump really was. He was beatable, and should have been beaten.
