(6,991 posts)There are some things Hillary said that she'd have changed during the campaign, and yes she has flaws as we ALL do (tRumputin is a racist, tReasonous, mentally-ill, lying devil). However, with the gerrymandering, GOP voter-suppression off the chain occurring in certain swing-states tRumputin MIRACULOUSLY won, and ruskie interference NO Democrat was winning the 2016 General Election. I've friends who are Bernie supporters who are turning on fellow Bernie Supporters (The Jimmy Dore Crazies), because they're tired of hearing how flawed/crooked she was and that she was worse than tRumputin, and that they rigged the primaries etc for Hillary. My close circle of Bernie-supporting friends aren't insane like this friend's circle of Bernie-supporter friends/family.
Tell ya, I'm frightened at Dem prospects come 2018. Not just because of gerrymandering, or because of GOP lead voter-suppression, old voting machines that can be hacked or the ruskies--which is more than enough to have to worry about. But you have some Bernie Supporters, who told fellow Bernie supporter friends that if tRumputin wins the 2020 thuglican nomination, they'll vote for him just to stick it to the Dem party. I'm not talking about the fake Bernie russian Bots in St. Petersburg buildings who are still sewing the seeds of discord amongst Democrats. I'm talking about real living and breathing Bernie supporters per my non-crazy Bernie supporter friends. I asked my friend this past Friday what'll happen. He said a civil war within their ranks--and while this friend isn't in "love" with Hillary, he voted for her in the GE, and he tried to get others to as well. He said he had some success in getting them to vote for Hillary in the GE, but others either didn't vote or voted for Stein or Johnson. He told me that during the conversations he's had with fellow Bernie supporter friends and even family members over these past months, they tell him that they FULLY intend to support tRumputin in 2020 because they're angry with sleazy, cheating Dems. He said he told them that they're insane if they think that Hillary is worse than tRumputin, and insane period to be voting for tRumputin. I ask him what they think about the GOP getting ready KILL Obamacare off for the umpteenth time, and he said that they never answer him back. He said there's silence, then deflection and extreme anger aimed back at Hillary and them pointing out how hideous, crooked, rotten Hillary is, and that she's far worse than tRumputin
He says that he's about done with his fellow Bernie supporter friends/family.
