You guys still seem mad that a nobody senator from Vermont won a bunch of states even though he lost. What would you be doing with your time if Hillary ran unopposed?

Lost really badly, just to clarify, like was totally destroyed into complete submission

Unknown senator from Vermont gets 45% of the vote and that's losing badly?
I mean if he wasn't a well known politician yeah, but gotta take into account relative variables like "Who the gently caress is Bernie Sanders? Why is he getting votes at all?"


I mean he lost yeah, but you gotta be real mad about him running to say that some schmuck no one knows lost 'badly' when Trump won more handily and he's a loving orange clown bound to destroy the very fabric of modern republicanism.

my favorite part of this still is bernie sanders being both the champion of REAL AMERICA leading an army that can't be ignored as it marches through the nation, and also being a literal nobody that no one knew anything about (ignore the polls showing his awareness with voters was pretty much right around Clinton's) depending on if we're sucking his dick or downplaying Clinton's win.

Remember, just like how Obama didn't REALLY win the election, Clinton won't either, because the standards are different

Towards the end, when he already lost the more important early states.
Early polls showed not many people knew much about him until it was practically decided.

Either way, no one knew of him prior to the election which is the main crux of the point being made and in a year or two no one will remember Sanders. Typical for nobody candidates.


Well, unless the movement he started continues properly, then he'd be remembered as much as Ron Paul is.

I'm surprised any liberal is upset at him running, given the new party platform.

Bernie was good at closing deals and winning concessions such as more progressive platform.

He bent the knee but got something in return.

Bernie was fine, now is the time to mock his core supporters. The ones who needed "time to be upset" about the loss while posting right wing conspiracies and claiming they were chill bros. Basically the revolution is dead and now their political idealism needs to be destroyed too.

The core of Bernie's supporters are voting for Clinton and, hopefully, inspired enough to run at a state level to gradually shift the party to the left. They're not as you described above.

I feel a lot of the other half o the core Bernie supporters that are not voting for Clinton and were not insane will be voting for neither 2 major candidates, or just not voting for a presidential candidate at all.
(I do hope they at least submit a valid ballot no matter if they choose a president or not.)

Either way there are plenty of opportunities for his supporters to shift the party to the left other than withholding their vote in November. Stamping them out is both self destructive and reactionary.

Polls show around 85-95% of Bernie Bros will vote for Shillery this fall.

Bernie said he will be campaigning alongside Hillary this fall.

He will do his part to make sure Trump is humilated in a yuge landslide defeat.

A 19 year old in Minnesota just decided Hillary was the devil and Bernie's an rear end in a top hat for not fighting through the convention, so nothing you say is true anymore.

Let me break it down for you. I define the core one way, and you define it another. The people I troll are the guys posting 20 year old Clinton Foundation conspiracies or the ones who crash the DNC dancing around and catching fire by accident while attempting to derail the nomination process. Your definition of core includes all people who voted for Sanders but that is a really stupid definition (no one is going to call the 90% of Bernie supporters going to Hillary "core" supporters).

By your own definition I can find the "core" of Hillary's supporters at hillaryis44.com (i.e., a group of people who got really upset that she lost to Obama, started PUMA, attempted to protest the DNC, and post conspiracy theories). We both know that's pure nonsense.
