Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Clinton still 'disappointed' Sanders held off on endorsing her in 2016 [View all]honest.abe
(9,238 posts)There are many clear differences:
-- Obama won so no one really cares what those non-Obama Hillary people did.
-- Those people were most likely racists (yes we do have racists in our party) and simply couldnt vote for a black man.
-- Hillary bowed out gracefully and didn't make any claims like Bernie and his supporters did like being cheated
-- Hillary could have drug it out further since she had so many potential super delegates but she didnt.
-- Bernie should have withdrawn earlier once it became mathematically impossible for him to win.
-- Many of Bernie's supporters were horrific at the convention like booing John Lewis (sickening)
-- Bernie did little to calm his supporters. He made some canned statements but it wasnt nearly enough.
I fear a repeat of some of this given what happened in 2016 but I do have hope Sanders and his people have learned from past mistakes.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
