(711 posts)Sanders gets to proclaim "see, I was right" only because evidently he was right.
Something that makes DWS resignation a self inflicted wound and not something that you can blame Sanders for.
Shit happens. If you act recklessly more shit happens than strictly necessary.
If voters choose to sit out the election between the two most disliked candidates ever, im sure someone will blame Sanders for that. But it would seem to be more closely related to the attractiveness of the candidates program than to anything that Sanders has ever said or done.
DWS' resignation from her position of power is a good step towards making such a loss of voters less likely. Im sure they can find other ways to do so if and when they feel a need for it. Beating up on Sanders seems real shortsighted when so much is at stake and when the Clinton camp actually holds all the cards.
