In reply to the discussion: Is it really "refighting the primaries" just to post the NAMES of last year's Dem candidates? [View all]Tom Rinaldo
(23,191 posts)And you refuse to even acknowledge that thee are more registered Independents in the United Sates than there are registered Democrats when you tick off only "Republicans and Libertarians" as Sanders voters in open primaries. No evidence supports that.
I know quite a few Democrats who preferred the ideas Sanders ran on to those that Clinton ran on, but they voted for her either because they thought she would make a better President given her experience, or a better presidential candidate, since she couldn't be labeled as a "Socialist".
And that is what the sub thread is all about, not if Hillary or Bernie was the better person to vote for, just whether the ideas he ran on should be thrown out the window because "he lost", or instead be incorporated in part for party unity.
