What Hillary supporters don't understand

171. That 29% was 32% or more last year. As for the

"mass exodus," what would happen if Hillary lost the general is interesting, and your prediction gave me pause, but I predict you're wrong and this is why I do:

Because there's really nowhere to go.

Because most Democrats are liberals who are, by nature, relatively independent, but we join a party to be able to exercise more power collectively than we would be able to standing alone.

Because Hillary is a genuinely good candidate. All three of our candidates are good, and we know it. Our nominee will not be some version of a Trump who the DNC wasn't able to eject and ended up embracing, jettisoning whatever principles it had to do so.

Because liberals tend to be more able to accept hard truths and are less likely than some other types to just start attacking the nearest blame-able targets. Some of the more reactionary types farther left might insist the DNC was infiltrated by conservatives and gave the election away, liberals won't.

But, hey, welcome to the party while you're here. Hopefully it'll be for some time.
