I know it's popular to knock down Bernie Sanders BUT

117. I have serious trouble accepting the fact that ANY Bernie supporter would vote for Drumph.

Their positions are diametrically opposed to one another. I suspect the "polls" that state 12% of his supporters voted for him are purely propaganda tools. JMHO

I do know that many did vote for Stein, mainly the environmentally concerned.

Democrats need to do some sincere soul-searching. I agree that the "leaders" of the party must allow a variety of progressive views to become a part of the Democratic platform. We also must return to our roots of representing the working class, instead of courting Wall Street for funds for our coffers. THIS is the reason Drumph won, not because of disgruntled Bernie voters. Drumph harnessed this group, albeit w/lies, and they are a huge voting block. Coming off an economically-devastating era, in which many hard workers in the country lost, not only their jobs but also their homes, this pool was ripe for the Drumph message.

If we want to take back our country, we must relate to the majority of the voting public. That public is increasingly young, progressive, & non-white. In other words, the Berniecrats. Big John Bear is correct in stating we must UNITE & MOVE FORWARD, instead of perpetuating this idea that we are a divided party. Any real American would do what is necessary to improve the country, not dwell on past differences, or play the blame game. None of this matters now.

What does matter is defeating the Republicans. Time to move on and focus on that goal & stop wasting valuable energy on perceived injustices.

BTW, this Berniecrat voted for Hillary w/no problem.
