35. Your words when contrasted with the fact that Bernie won my State by 12% in a closed

Democratic primary seem to indicate a less than full presentation of the facts. Your words seem to denigrate the Democrats of this State and the millions of others in other States who voted for Bernie in our Democratic Primary. He trashed no one and his criticisms of the Party are valid and vital. You on the other hand seem to detest the voters in all the States that voted for Bernie. If your view was in fact the view of a strong majority of Democrats we'd not be having this conversation at all. She did not sweep the table. She did not come close to winning my State. Not even close. This is one of the most Democratic States in the Union.

Of course I'm used to being critical of this Party because it took years of righteous criticism to move this Party to support LGBT equality, years to move our presumptive nominee to that simple and basic support for equality. Those who said the Party was just fine back then failed the LGBT community, those who criticized the Party did their duty.
