Bernie isn't hated by democrats

not explicitly but he got kinda shafted by the DNC and he is basically telling people "politicians both D and R have been loving you for decades"

my point was they are both old, very much to the left of the established parties and right about what's ailing their countries including that the left has failed the people

See, here's the thing, and this is the last I'm saying about Bernie vs Hillary.

Bernie may have been able to snipe WI and MI, but I don't think he would have been able to take PA or potentially VA, if we go by primary performances. Without PA, there's nothing to be done.

Hillary didn't lose PA by all that much (70k votes), there's no reason why a better candidate couldn't have taken it

Now that Trump won we are becoming as fatalistic to the idea of an inevitable Trump victory just as we were to an inevitable Hillary victory a week ago

We're already getting that. I fully expect ted Cruz at my door to personally drag me to the trains.
But I want Trump to dislike all the demands put on him as a figurehead in a position that isn't one. He doesn't deserve to enjoy this.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would have beaten Donald Trump by a historic margin if he had been the Democratic nominee, according to a private pre-election poll provided to The Huffington Post.

The national survey of more than 1,600 registered voters, conducted by Gravis Marketing two days before the general election, found that Sanders would have received 56 percent of the vote while Trump would have won 44 percent.

Equating all immigration is part of the problem. poo poo like 'most US Nobel Prize winners are immigrants!' rings hollow because all but a small group of super racists want to completely shut the borders to any type of immigration. Bringing in smart and successful people who go through the process isn't what a working class person is opposed to. They're opposed to having competition for the dwindling number of low skill jobs from people who accept terrible pay and working conditions because they are even more desperate than everybody else.

Can't get rid of supply without addressing demand. You can literally kick 100% of the illegal immigrants out of the country and as long as there are American companies who hire them they will return.

Deport all the business owners who use undocumented immigrant labor imo. This includes all the agriculture corporations that post massive profits while exploiting slave-labor.

This is so stupid for so many reasons.

1) Bernie was very effective at turning out young and midwestern/rural voters
2) He was also effective at minority outreach, yes clinton won with lations and black people, but Bernie won with arab americans and native americans
3) It was the Dem primary, both candidates were pretty good on minority issues. I have no doubt he would have been able to turn out clinton voters in the general.

It was funny to see the reactions from the image obsessed parts of the Left claiming that Freddie & Connor are too obsessed with white workers (even though they were absolutely decisive), only for Freddie to remind them all that deindustrialization affected black workers even worse, and that their suppressed turnout also made the difference.

Did Hillary ever mention Flint, Michigan even once after the debates?

Nae-naeing on Ellen is the pinnacle of black outreach. There's no chance Bernie could have done something that reflected an actual conversation and engagement with issues facing black communities.

Eh Bernie's primary campaign was a clusterfuck. He would have made different mistakes. We'll never know if they would have been fatal.
But in the end this might work out better? A dramatic failure of the business wing of the democrats, and what's probably going to be a really disappointing tears for R voters while a bad but energizing time for Ds. Bernie getting obstructed to hell isn't going to lead to motivated midterm voters probably.

This is what infuriates me. It's totally possible, even likely, that with a better candidate or better run campaign, we would've won this. However, even on that much happier timeline we'd still be playing perpetual defense on the Presidency and Senate, while never taking the house and watching Republican legislatures burn down their states and set increasingly impossible districts every 10 years.

Don't think I have forgotten all the people in the liberal twitter/blog crowd that sneered at Freddie as a "brogressive" and basically called him a racist for pointing out that safe space academic babble is political suicide.

If that didn't stop most primary voters, it would make even LESS of an issue nationally.
