In reply to the discussion: Can Bernie supporters comprehend why someone would prefer Hillary over Bernie? [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)Its not the majority of Sanders supporters.
Here on DU, its the same sub-set of folks who run what I call the "DU's Combustible Hair Club".
They've complained about Obama from day one. They read between the lines and can always find Obama's evil intent. They demanded a primary challenge against Obama in 2012. A giant waste of time. They've predicted doom and gloom over and over and over during his Presidency. And they've been wrong over and over. Obama's term is coming to and end. Hilary's positions are similar to Obama's, so now they've turned their scorn in her direction. They were sure Warren was going to run and would have preferred her to Sanders. Their support for Bernie is convenient. Day in, day out, they sit on high making pronouncements regarding who the "real liberals" are. They are sure that you and I, and anyone we might support, does not measure up to the standards they maintain for themselves. They are DU's self-proclaimed High Priests of liberalism. And they sit in judgement over the rest of us. Just ask them.
And I will again observe that these folks have tended to be wrong over and over.
