I have wondered, and ask if you have some insight into it, do you think that there is a perception that Sanders supporters have generally been overly critical of Obama's policies, and an alignment with Clinton is a sort of affirmation that Obama is an exceedingly remarkable president?
I have nothing beyond intuition for suspecting that this is so. But I do suspect it.
I do believe that Obama has been a remarkable president in the face of unprecedented disrespect and obstructionism, even acknowledging that he has taken policy positions with which I disagree. We on Bernie's team had best pay attention, should we hope Bernie should be able to govern if elected.
Thanks for your post bravenak. I am made hopeful by your post that some may listen.
