So, I am not angry about the refusal to accept this historical moment or constant bullying of Hillary supporters - on line.in person, by phone. I feel so relieved to be mansplained! I am not angry about stuff like that http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/worlds_largest_fart-in_planned_for_hillary_clintons_acceptance_speech_in_ph (good luck with it - it will be outdoors)

Why Hillary Clinton Supporters are Still So Angry at Bernie Sanders [View all] leeroysphitz Jun 2016 OP

good article tk2kewl Jun 2016 #1

great mansplaining about how HRC supporters want a woman President. pnwmom Jun 2016 #157

Great analogy Haveadream Jun 2016 #193

Yup. We love things about Bernie pnwmom Jun 2016 #196

Lol. Ethical and judgement deficiencies Hortensis Jul 2016 #220

How do you feel about Warren as VP? I used to think pnwmom Jul 2016 #221

Talking heads on MSNBC, not a friendly group Hortensis Jul 2016 #225

Actually it's the whole suite of identity politics Scootaloo Jun 2016 #202

I'd prefer a president of any gender who was not pro imperial war n/t eridani Jul 2016 #217

That doesn't have anything to do with the OP. Or Hillary, for that matter. n/t pnwmom Jul 2016 #222

Yeah, it does. It is nonsense to suppose that not liking the Iraq wae vote is sexist. eridani Jul 2016 #223

The OP is supposedly about why Hillary supporters are angry with Bernie. pnwmom Jul 2016 #224

There are a ton of good reasons why people did not support Sanders Gothmog Jun 2016 #116

+1000 Haveadream Jun 2016 #123

One valid reason to vote against Sanders is the desire to preserve President Obama's legacy Gothmog Jun 2016 #130

That point is very important to me. greatauntoftriplets Jun 2016 #174

This is one of the most stupid things I've ever read... TCJ70 Jun 2016 #177

Sanders failed to appeal to African American voters and that cost him the nomination Gothmog Jun 2016 #200

His efforts were doomed because the target audience had no interest no matter what he did Scootaloo Jun 2016 #205

Your analysis is wrong Gothmog Jun 2016 #211

Wait... Scootaloo Jul 2016 #256

Yes, and the person to whom you are replying took part in same AgingAmerican Jul 2016 #251

When you don't want to answer the questions... TCJ70 Jul 2016 #226

What does "Preserve Obama's legacy" mean? AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #208

The only legacy issue I see is the ACA spud_demon Jul 2016 #243

That isn't correct. First, ACA is not the only issue. Second, Sanders has stated seabeyond Jul 2016 #244

Your characterization is way off... TCJ70 Jul 2016 #245

Exactly the point I kept bringing up when he was having this conversation. seabeyond Jul 2016 #248

Regarding Clinton -- I stand corrected, as for the rest spud_demon Jul 2016 #246

Oh my... Lol. Ok. seabeyond Jul 2016 #249

That's some cogent analysis right there! druidity33 Jun 2016 #188

It's not an OP about why Sanders lost Scootaloo Jun 2016 #203

Read the OP-it is a whine as to why Sanders lost Gothmog Jun 2016 #204

I did. I don't think you can say the same Scootaloo Jun 2016 #206

I read it and actually understood it-let me explain it to you Gothmog Jun 2016 #210

You are clearly reading a very different article than the one in the OP Scootaloo Jun 2016 #212

Not really-I just understand the concepts being discussed Gothmog Jul 2016 #216

Exactly -- I don't think most people actually read the article obamanut2012 Jul 2016 #231

The intent of the article was clear to me Gothmog Jul 2016 #253

That absolutely isn't what the OP is about obamanut2012 Jul 2016 #230

good post -- cosign n/t obamanut2012 Jul 2016 #229

There are a ton of good reasons millions who voted Sanders won't Hillary timmymoff Jul 2016 #259

Over 80% of Sanders supporters are already on board with Clinton. seabeyond Jul 2016 #262

That 20% is Yuuuuuuggggge timmymoff Jul 2016 #264

Nah. n/t seaglass Jun 2016 #4

Wrong. My choice was a vote against Bernie. While he may have had some good ideas, his seaglass Jun 2016 #15

Why don't people writing these articles actually ask Hillary supporters how they feel? DanTex Jun 2016 #12

This is what your camp wont understand. Read the article. It isn't theatrics. leeroysphitz Jun 2016 #19

The article is about people like me. I understand me. The author of the article doesn't. DanTex Jun 2016 #23

It sounds like you tho... n/t leeroysphitz Jun 2016 #29

What does that mean? DanTex Jun 2016 #43

Sanders polled higher against Trump. Ash_F Jun 2016 #129

Sanders lost. There is no Sanders. There is only Hillary and Trump. DanTex Jun 2016 #131

OK but if you wanted to beat Trump wouldn't supporting Sanders have made more sense? Ash_F Jun 2016 #132

I don't believe those poll numbers would have held up. But that doesn't matter anymore. DanTex Jun 2016 #136

Why? Ash_F Jun 2016 #138

Because I don't think he'd hold up under GOP attacks. DanTex Jun 2016 #141

That's an opinion not based on evidence. Ash_F Jun 2016 #144

It's an opinion. So is yours. Who cares? The primary is over. It's Hillary or Trump now. DanTex Jun 2016 #145

Apparently you do if you responded to this essay Ash_F Jun 2016 #146

I make decisions based on evidence. Doesn't seem you do. DanTex Jun 2016 #149

Bernie is not helping Trump. That claim is ridiculous. Ash_F Jun 2016 #151

Of course he is. Every day he holds out, Trump celebrates. DanTex Jun 2016 #154

The woman explains herself clearly, if you listen to her. Ash_F Jun 2016 #156

Who cares? It's a disgruntled Hillary supporter from 2008. DanTex Jun 2016 #160

That's a subset. Ash_F Jun 2016 #162

Of course it claims to generalize. It doesn't say "why a tiny subset of Hillary supporters..." DanTex Jun 2016 #163

Oh I don't think it's tiny. Ash_F Jun 2016 #164

Hmm, I though you based your opinions on evidence. DanTex Jun 2016 #165

I do. Ash_F Jun 2016 #179

Hillary certainly does not help herself kacekwl Jun 2016 #166

What does that have to do with Bernie? And what makes you think Hillary DanTex Jun 2016 #167

It has to do with Hillary hurting herself....helping Trump if you will. kacekwl Jun 2016 #182

I only blame Bernie for Bernie's own pro-Trump actions. DanTex Jun 2016 #185

Pro Trump is a ridiculous statement. kacekwl Jun 2016 #191

Did you see he picture on the home page today? Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #49

Who cares? Trump CAN'T win. What is important is moving the Democratic party back. leeroysphitz Jun 2016 #80
