2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie's current proposed strategy could win him the nomination. [View all]1. I haven't heard negative remarks about Clinton, unless mentioning her actual record is negative. Which, of course, it is. At this point, many of us have not gotten to vote in our own primary, so trying to get us to "unify" behind our opposition is undemocratic, to say the least.
2. He already has.
3. I'll stop Trump by working to nominate the candidate with the best chance of beating him...Sanders. Clinton supporters using this as a talking point for Sanders quitting at this point are disingenuous and hypocritical, to say the least.
4. Until the Democratic Party wants to acknowledge and address what truly divides us, that divide will continue to grow wider and deeper. The current Democratic Party is the party of neo-liberals, and the efforts over the last 2 decades to purge the rest of us from the party have increased in scope and intensity. At this point, if Democratic voters continue to vote for neo-liberals and allow neo-liberals to hold power within the party, those Democrats are going to have to let the idea of unity go.
