In reply to the discussion: Sanders supporters cry foul over Working Families endorsement of Warren [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)12. Did they feel ENTITLED to the endorsement?
I can understand why they'd be disappointed... but it really serves no good purpose for them to respond in such an ugly and divisive way. That's how endorsements go... win-some/lose-some. They should just stand up, dust themselves off, pledge to do better next time, accept it, get over it and move on... that's the behavior I'd expect from mature voters.
These repetitive cries of "we were cheated" creates resentment and suspicions that generate negativity. Negativity suppresses voter turnout. Low voter turnout makes it easier for the GOP (and Russia) to steal elections.
All I'm saying is that people should avoid doing things that help the GOP and Russia. That's reasonable, isn't it?

The assumption is based on at least the minimum, full transparency for democratic processes
