2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Hillaryites are demonstrating how out of touch they are with the working class. [View all]seabeckind
(1,957 posts)71. You must have a difficulty with complex concepts.
I never apologized for a Nader voter.
I said I understood why they would do so.
A fact that our "leadership" in 2000 failed to realize because they just assumed that the people who were hurt by the continuation of the reagan economic policy and cost them their livelihood,
would just roll over and take it.
The exact same lack of realization that cost us the congress in 2010 and 2014. And that has caused us to lose credibility in so many states.
What is it when someone doesn't learn from mistakes? Is it worse when they go into denial about the mistake?
Just what do you think a post-mortem is for? Have drinks and cry in the beer and blame the voter?

That's true. And that's what makes Bernie exceptional. He knows the real history of this nation.

What system of government do you think we have? I know it's incredibly undemocratic.

How did your guy, Al Gore, lose the 2000 election? He didn't. It was stolen by the Supreme Court.

That's what you, Wall Street, corporate America and their main benefactor, Hillary hope. Isn't it?

Yeah, I had that wrong. Sanders has been in Congress 25 years, the Senate only 9.
