Bernie Sanders voters helped Trump become President

316. Here's the problem, as this relates to DU:

Those 12% (if those numbers are in fact accurate) of Sanders supporters who ended up voting for Trump, were not Democrats and probably not even lefties of any kind. Nobody left DU and then turned around and voted for Trump out of spite. No DUer (trolls excepted) would have voted for Trump, period. No DUer in any crucial swing state would have withheld their vote in the GE. Many Democrats may have done so, but not those so invested in politics as to be members of this website.

This is conveniently ignored or actively denied by those who have too much invested in their own divisiveness (and in making Trump be someone else's fault besides their own) to let this non-issue die, and perhaps allow some kind of healing to occur.

It's pretty damn sad.
