(46,155 posts)Most Sanders supporters voted for the Dem in the general.
A minority did not.
Those are facts, and not really controversial. We've long ago recognized the the great majority of Sanders supporters voted for the Dem nominee. This article updates those statistics and examines them further. It paints a very positive picture of the majority of Sanders supporters, which we at DU are part of.
I stand by my statement that DU'ers saying Bernie shouldn't have run are just a loud handful.
I still don't understand why DU Sanders supporters get so defensive about these facts, as we all voted for the Dem nominee.
Again the article is about a minority.
--It isn't about the majority who voted for Sanders
--It isn't about Bernie
--It isn't about Bernie's campaign
--It isn't about DU'ers
