83. So. What. (WTM)

Wed Apr 20, 2016, 02:41 AM

Apr 2016

You didn't address the issue
Some people have been pushing the 1984 and 1972 meme to death
The world has moved drastically in that time -- That's the So. and the What.
And you know Dems don't like him how exactly?
Have you polled the party membership or are you just making your own assertion based on what you (and maybe some people around you) think?
If you have done the polling please share
If you are referring to the numbers of people who have voted as being some sort of indictment against Sanders, I would disagree.
I voted for Sanders in Dem Abroad, not against HRC.
I don't dislike her, nor do I have anything against her.
Most of my friends voted Clinton. They like Sanders, but they prefer her to him.
I realize that they are my friends and they number only about 60 people.

So... as I said... if you have that poll where Democrats have said they don't like Sanders, feel free to share it
