I sure hope so, but I’m worried about the Bernie bros throwing another fit because they didn’t get their again.
Maybe Bernie’s supporters are justifiably upset over the way he was treated by the DNC and the apparent corruption in that organization, and this vote could be interpreted as more of the same from a party that claims to be for the people while it continues to sell out to corporate interests. This is exactly the kind of behavior that led to the Tea Party, and I’m not liberal enough for a Democrat equivalent to show up and crash the party in 2018.
Bernie’s supporters are justified in being upset how the DNC acted, no question…and yet nothing justified refusing to vote for Clinton and potentially helping Trump get elected,
Plenty Bernie supporters voted for Hillary. And it isn’t the fault of Bernie supporters that Hillary was a bad candidate that people couldn’t stomach voting for.
I’m talking about Bernie supporters who refused to vote for Hillary. And you’re right, it isn’t their fault that Hillary was the candidate, but anyone who didn’t vote for Hillary in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin shares the blame. That refers to Trump voters, Stein voters, Johnson voters, voters who didn’t vote, eligible adults who didn’t register…they all share blame, and Bernie supporters who didn’t vote for Hillary are included in that group. Trump voters get the most blame but they all get some.
Sometimes being an adult means making a choice you don’t like because the only alternative is worse.
Those are hollow words.
Sometimes the truth is hollow.
