Short Term Memory Loss is Epidemic on DU

72. ""had Bernie run as an independent, there wouldn't have been the huge rallies and the media

attention that led to them"

You do not know that, no one in their right mind can say that. The continuation of your argument based on that ill-conceived notion is moot.
Ralph Nader rec'd over 100,000+ votes in Florida. Bernie was far more respected and well-known than candidate Nader, in relative times.


You wrote:: ""You forget that millions upon millions of voters never heard of Bernie Sanders until he ran on the ticket of a major party, which is why he needed to run as a Democrat. He pointed this out himself many times.""

Yes, millions, so what? And - No, what he admitted was that to WIN and NOT split the ticket ( remember? He didn't want to do that), he needed the Dem machine behind him otherwise he would have been just another spoiler/Nader. This is why it was an absolute for him to switch to Dem party.

""Refighting the primaries? I don't see how analyzing Bernie's strategy is refighting anything. ""

That is what I'd hope, but DU rules are DU rules and there is a DU rule about arguing over the primaries.. crazy, huh?
