It's all there if you look. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #71

So you have nothing other than your pondering. Goblinmonger Nov 2016 #85

"I'm a Sanders fan and I voted for Clinton." yallerdawg Nov 2016 #86

You don't understand it? Don't be so coy. Goblinmonger Nov 2016 #90

Look. It should go both ways. He just didn't do a good enough job convincing them. kcr Nov 2016 #52

Bernie Sanders didn't win the Primary portlander23 Nov 2016 #55

Righto. He didn't win. That would be my point. kcr Nov 2016 #60

And thus it became opposite day portlander23 Nov 2016 #61

Okay. kcr Nov 2016 #62

1 Kathy M Nov 2016 #93

That was exactly my sentiment after the primaries lapucelle Nov 2016 #14

Clinton lost because of who stayed home portlander23 Nov 2016 #16

Old numbers- the demographics we're not even in yet. Biased speculation at best... bettyellen Nov 2016 #19

Which exit polls are you waiting for? portlander23 Nov 2016 #21

It's not about white guys portlander23 Nov 2016 #7

We are agreed... TCJ70 Nov 2016 #8

Yes, it is. People are naive as heck about reaching these people. duffyduff Nov 2016 #75

You don't have to care about white trump voters portlander23 Nov 2016 #84

Bernie made the calculation that they could not... ask him why. bettyellen Nov 2016 #23

Well said realmirage Nov 2016 #17

Socialism? Here? yallerdawg Nov 2016 #29

Thank you portlander23 Nov 2016 #35

This is where we were when Bill Clinton showed up. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #36

Please more maps portlander23 Nov 2016 #40

Your argument seems to be we weren't out of touch enough. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #51

So here it is portlander23 Nov 2016 #53

Yes, here it is. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #56

People are going to be engaged portlander23 Nov 2016 #57

In other words, you agree. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #59

I would trade for where we were in 1988 from where we are today in a second (and I was there). Midwestern Democrat Nov 2016 #73

We did pretty good back in 2008. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #74

Yes, we did. I think we can get the pendulum swinging back but I do think we need to Midwestern Democrat Nov 2016 #77

I never heard of Bill Clinton or Obama until they announced. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #78

Your map proves nothing, OTHER than the fact that we are in bad shape. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #80

If we had only run the self-described socialist. yallerdawg Nov 2016 #81

It suggests we needed something better. They have nothing to do with Bernie. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #82

Truth! How many more times do we have to lose. onecaliberal Nov 2016 #31

Sanders officially left the Democratic party the week after the convention. lapucelle Nov 2016 #58

Of course I will still say that. lapucelle Nov 2016 #70

Sure. Except when he rallied for Hillary in Colorado. progressoid Nov 2016 #83

I disagree. lapucelle Nov 2016 #88

Bernie best learn to say what he means, he's not always gonna have you around to explain it. emulatorloo Nov 2016 #63

what should be abandoned is the TERM "identity politics" -- it's a put-down of solidarity cloudythescribbler Nov 2016 #69

That is a good point. I don't think that term was coined by an anti-oppression activist. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #76

Before Bernie got in, nobody, to my recollection, was claiming there was a huge chasm Ken Burch Nov 2016 #79

So long as they can spin things that way, they will. nt VulgarPoet Nov 2016 #89

Thank You for your post ...... Kathy M Nov 2016 #94
