(11,203 posts)So Hillary agreed to refill to coffers of the DNC while everyone thought the primary would be relatively uncontested on the Democratic side? Nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately for both Hillary and the DNC, Bernie decided it was a great time to put what he had been working for all of his political career on the national stage. Honestly he probably started off just wanting to get some influence on the party platform. Bernie kind of came out of nowhere, especially to those that never listen to Thom Hartman or lived in Vermont. His populist message supporting the working class resonated with lots of voters.
The DNC fucked up. Debbie Wasserman was obviously biased to those paying attention. She and the DNC were pro Hillary all the way. It was irritating. Bernie actually may have benefitted a bit from anti-DNC backlash in the primaries. I voted for Bernie in the primary, but was happy to vote for Hillary in the election.
I was never angry at Hillary, and no Democrat should be. I gained so much respect for her during the campaign.
