Maybe they just didn't want to vote for her, because she was a bad candidate. Unlike Bernie who would have won.

I thought about writing in Bernie while I was standing in line at the polls but I thought "on the off-chance that Trump wins, I need to be able to say when I'm an old man that I voted against him."

It strikes me that HRC's "Trump must be kept from winning the presidency at all costs" campaign might have driven some more turnout if her "Trump will never win the presidency LOL he's such a trainwreck" campaign hadn't worked so effectively

and yeah :same: my hand wavered as I checked the Clinton box but I took my drat medicine and voted for her

Bernie could have won, and we'd have had 4-8 years of democratic socialism in one country, but it wouldn't last forever, and it wouldn't go worldwide.

Only Hillary could have put the final incremental pieces in place to usher in 1000 years of worldwide full-communism.

At the end of the day though, America wasn't ready for a conservative democratic socialist or a radical accelerationist marxist, they just wanted a boring old white guy.

This one's the one that really gets me though, how do you look at Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and get the message that America doesn't want any weird radical solutions and decided instead to pick the boring safe option :psyduck:

ITT Hillary Rodham Clinton is described as a "conservative democratic socialist" who was simply too radical for the American people, who retreated from her scary new ideas into the warm safe familiar bosom of Donald Trump

I know some that do earnestly regret it. They all thought Trump was no worse than Clinton right up until the end.

I don't know any Hillbots from the primary that regret their vote though.

My friend you are mistaken. "Conservative Democratic Socialist" would be Mr. Sanders. Did he outright call for the abolition of private property? How did he vote on intervention in Eastern Europe? How radical is he compared to any contemporary elected Democratic Socialist head of state?

His campaign and actions as an elected official have been incredibly predictable. It's boring in the same sense as watching two trains crash. It's tragic, but we all saw what was coming miles away.

The OP is absolutely correct. Bernie would have lost the primary even if Wasserman-Schultz wasn't the DNC chair and even if there were no super delegates. In the world where he wins the primary you have to make so many changes that the general can't be compared to what actually happened.

Not really. It's as simple as Biden entering the race and turning it into a 3 way from which Bernie could emerge victorious.

The Republican establishment was split between a bunch of candidates and couldn't unite to stop Trump. The democratic establishment was all united behind Clinton. If it had been divided, the dem primary could've ended much the same way.
