2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Next week, Bernie will drop out and strongly endorse HRC. There is nothing hypocritical [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)on forums like this one, came to intensely dislike the group personalities formed on those forums around Bernie. However, in contrast to those few, millions of others are just fine with Bernie himself and what they see of his supporters on TV, and very large numbers of those feel a great commonality. In fact, large numbers supported Bernie also.
Excepting his untethered notion that the entire Democratic Party excepting him is corrupt (no, Bernie, it is not), I agreed strongly with virtually everything he has said about the problems facing our nation and the urgent need to tackle them. I didn't vote for Bernie because I don't feel he is presidential material, but we absolutely identify the same, critically important economic problems and support the same goals.
Good post, Cali.
