There were many people who ran against Hillary. So blame the primary process and the people who backed Bernie, but not him. Who you should blame are all the Democrats, people and especially the liberals in the party that chose him over Hillary They chose him, he was their choice and it was probably about 40% of the Democrats with the other 10% new people and workers. And the liberals not only supported him probably 3/4 or 5 to one over Hillary, his supporters contributed much more money to his campaign in small donations than to her's. The heart and soul of the Democrats supported Bernie. The liberals and many others did want Hillary.She was forced on them. In fact the liberals wanted to move left in 08 and went with Obama over Hillary thinking he was more liberal. How he ran. They tried to get Warren to run in 2016 and she wouldn't, so they went with Bernie. And they picked him over all the other Democrats running in the primary. They liked his lefty ideas and his passion the best. And he did nothing wrong or different than Obama. It does not matter if he was not a Democrat, because he ran in the Democratic primary and after the primary he worked hard for Hillary. He did not lambaste her to the end.. So he did it right. If Stein had done that it would have been fine or if Bloomberg runs in the Democratic primaries it is fine. We have to have a primary process. We cannot have a monarchy, we must have primaries and liberals and others had a right to challenge Hillary in the primary. That was actually more democratic than Hillary sewing up so many super delegates out of the chute. What I don't get was why everyone was fine with Obama, but not so fine with Bernie? <<But he wasn't a fucking democratic and he's never done much- except to have an ego the size of a small gaseous planet.
