Democratic Primaries

(1,532 posts)Sanders was a sore loser.
After bashing Hillary as being a "corporate Democrat", "corrupt Democrat", "establishment Democrat", attacking TPP, making the Clinton foundation appear to be a vehicle for pay to play, after the Vatican stunt and ambushing Pope before his morning prayers, Sanders energized his supporters to have a "contested convention" and riled up their anger, making it appear that he lost unfairly.
They booed Democratic heroes like John Lewis. They bullied and booed Dolores Huerta. Sanders said nothing and was complicit by his inaction.
Then Sanders pretended to campaign for Hillary but promoted OR instead at Hillary's expense, demanding private jets everywhere.
I have heard from many Sanders supporters that their goal was to make Hillary lose so that Sanders will have one more shot. Thus the Sanders' campaign leadership went into high gear, saying nice things about Trump, denigrating Hillary and promoting staying home or voting for Jill Stein.
How do I know Sanders was complicit? He hired the same three back to his campaign leadership: Sirota, Gray and Turner. QED.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
