In reply to the discussion: Hillary supporter's new meme: Evolution in thinking is impossible [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,813 posts)76. That's not what HRC supporters are saying at all ...
... not by a long-shot.
But if that's what you need to tell yourself, that's okay. It's not easy being on the losing side - one believes what one must.
If BS had garnered the support among Democrats that was predicted by his supporters from day one, he wouldn't be trawling for votes among Trump's racist disciples.
Bernie has hit his ceiling among Democrats, liberals, progressives - so now his only (desperate) hope is to find support among those who are anti-Dem, anti-liberal, anti-progressive.
The fact that this move is being promoted as some noble desire to reach out to the other side is as transparent as it is ludicrous.
It is an act of desperation. And it is seen for what it is by those who are actually paying attention.

Anyone accusing Sanders of racism has reached a pathetic and deluded place in their lives.

Perhaps since you don't know the difference between "some" and "all" you should pause posting ...

Supposedly, the point of triangulating is to get votes from Indies and Republicans.
