I kind of wish in retrospect that I hadn't voted for Bernie in the primary because I don't want to be associated with these people.

yeah, I think once Clinton wins with +4 or +5 we'll be able to look back and say that this race was pretty consistent, barring non-response based fluctuations after major events

The argument that Bernie would some how be more electable is horseshit. He was the weaker candidate in FL, OH, PA, VA, NC, NV, AZ, and IA. If he can't beat Hillary there, no one gives a poo poo about his crushing wins in OR and OK.

it'll be interesting to see how much of her ground game advantage is priced into the polling results and how much will only show up in the vote count.

Sandersistas are overwhelmingly voting HRC, don't let two faithless electors fool you into thinking there's a major schism.

The fact that KKKillary will do her best to kkkill the GOP for 4-8 years means the Sanderistas will get a lot of what they want, at least in terms of words (actions may be a different story because lol Congress). The Trumpers are going to win a bunch of 2018 seats, though, which will *certainly* be a massive problem for the GOP because all Hillary has to do is broadcast their racism while the country proceeds to get another 2% less white.

The "sanderistas" are such an overblown phenomena. The vast majority are just the left wing of the party and see their values reflected in the party platform. A smaller number are libertarians who pretended to be democratic outsiders for a few minutes. The smallest number are the true believer tankies, and I have sympathy for these fellow travellers. My advice to them is remember we're fighting fascists and you can still do great things in your local government or in worker organizations.

To the libertarian shitheads who troll this forum, my advice is the same to all Republican and libertarian voters. Please kill yourself.

At least Bernie is pragmatic to realize that defeating Trump was a higher primary than a protest vote, despite his horrible treatment by the DNC.

Bernie never had outreach with minorities. His only coalition was white college kids and other white people. His coalition was just as racist as Trump's base, and all they did was whitesplain everything and shat all over BLM protesters for being uppity.

Remember that time HRC had all the money, every insider endorsement, and press coverage treating her as the anointed candidate years before the first primary ballot was cast? No, not the second time when she managed to beat the self-described socialist Jewish dude who didn't take the race seriously until after it was already over. I mean the first time when she lost to the black guy with the funny name that nobody had heard of before.

A truly gifted politician.

It's amazing that not a single bernout can actually connect the dots from DNC internally liked Hillary more (shocking!) on the blackboard to election stolen from Bernie. My blood pressure was really suffering in the spring when they would whine about super delegates stealing the election as their guy was down 2 million votes.
