So what, that tells you nothing. You have no idea how many of those people were people who were never going to vote for Hillary under any circumstances. A lot of people did not want her. Why blame Bernie, he told his people to vote for Hillary.

Why would you blame Bernie and not his supporters which was almost half the Democrats and probably 80% of the liberals.

Do you blame the almost half of the Democrats who supported Bernie? They picked him over Hillary and fought like hell for him and sent him more small donations than Hillary got by a mile. . Why do you suppose that was??

Do you want to do away with the primary process? What about all the other people who ran against Hillary? Are they also to blame or just Bernie?

What is the difference between what Bernie did and what Obama did? There was no difference at all. Would you have blamed Obama if his supporters had stayed at home?

The problem was Stein whom you felt was OK for people to consider which weakened the Democrats. Stein and Nader alone probably allowed Bush and Trump to win and all their destruction.

What is the culpability of the DNC who was in the tank for Hillary, or the undemocratic super delegates. You don't see that as a larger crime than Bernie running a legitimate campaign?

And you have to recognize what those 13 million people who opposed Hillary with a passion and did vote for Bernie and spent so much money to support him represent! The DNC tried to deny them the right to nominate who they wanted. Pretty sick tactics. Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign over her role in tipping the scales for Hillary. What about that?

How many Obama supporters do you think would have stayed home if Hillary had beaten Obama. Several million I am sure. Would you also have blamed him?

Bernie lost, by a lot.
16,914,722 to 13,206,428 [
Over 4 million Obama '08 primary voters either stayed home or voted for Trump.

"he did not run to the end."
He ran thru the tape and into the tunnel.
