Sanders’ effect on Clinton’s campaign would be interesting to talk about. He forced her to shift left in an attempt to unite everyone, but some of those people went “nope, not enough,” causing her to alienate independents that may have voted Democrats last election.

Would it have been a better idea for her to ignore the Bernie bros (especially since many of his supporters would have voted for her regardless) and continued to vie for independents votes?


I always role my eyes at these claims since Bernie constantly outperformed Hillary with self proclaimed independents.


It is almost like those folks are not registered D for a reason....if they loved the democrats biggest names like Clinton, they probably would be! And just look at how much better Bernie did in open states vs closed states...IND voters clearly liked him more. No idea why people think despite all the massive evidence we have toward him performing better with IND voters that some people think he somehow ends up doing worse with them.

How anyone can read the shit in that tantrum of a book and think anything but "please go away forever Hillary" is a mystery to me. People say Bernie people are why there's no unity in the party but Bernie endorsed her and campaigned for her and was far more mild in his criticism the entire time than the Clinton/Obama match up in 08, and he never wrote a fucking book whining about her. The centrist Democrats go on about unity but they only mean it one way - the left has to bow to their whims and never want anything for it. So ridiculously entitled to, but in no way wanting to earn people's support. Ralph Nader just had a great interview with the intercept spelling out a lot of the failings of the Democratic party in the last several decades that's worth a read for anyone interested in the subject.


It doesnt matter that Bernie endorsed her when his supporters refused to follow him down that path.


Obama managed to beat McCain despite more Hillary primary voters going for McCain than Sanders voters going for Trump. And regardless, she is blaming Bernie, not his supporters.

and lol@ the idea that bernies campaign "helped no one" his campaign got millions of people involved in politics that previously were dormant, and has vastly strengthened organizations dedicated to fighting for many of his campaign issues, or the DSA, etc. you would not believe the amount of people who credit him for finally getting involved, and blaming him for daring to win is the same incredible kind of shit I was talking about in re: left must unify toward center without expecting anything, never the other way around.

Blaming the American people is the most insanely privileged way of looking at it that I could possibly think of. Nobody likes our system and the choices it brings and the majority of people don't have the time or energy to do anything about it. Studies show that regular people have no say in what the government does. The only real objective place to lay the blame is at the donor class who controls the politicians. Regular people said the entire time they hated Trump and Hillary and somehow they were the only choices, and despite voting Hillary she lost. How are regular people at fault?

are you guys seriously going to pretend that the democratic primary voters are the same thing as the general election voters? all opinion polls showed that bernie did better among ind voters than clinton and did better against trump in the general. hes rn by far the most popular politician in the country. whatever you think of him, all the actual evidence points towards him being more likely to win.
.



They also showed that John Kasich would have delivered an unworldly godstomp on Hillary and we all know that to very likely not be true.

Why are bad facts only good when they support YOUR fringe candidate.


No Idea what you are talking about. Kasich probably would have beaten her. Trump beat her. I don't see your argument. Also Bernie is not fringe his positions are more popular than any candidate running. I think Bernie sucks tbh he's the most conservative guy I'd vote for

bernie is currently the most popular politician so the idea that his popularity comes from being out of the limelight is nonsense. the idea that hillary being hated after DECADES of attacks is why bernie would have somehow become less popular in mere MONTHS of attacks is also nonsense.

Whenever I see an article saying this it's basing the claim on Bernie doing the best out of a set of like 10 politicians that they poll


Do you think most Americans know more than 10 politicians? Because they definitely don't

primaries are not how you determine the most popular general election candidate if they are closed.

opinion polling shows the most popular candidate in the general (it was bernie)

not saying sanders didn't know that going in. he never said he was screwed, and I don't think he was screwed, but I do think he was fighting an uphill battle that he would have won if it was not set up to benefit hillary to begin with.

I never said Clinton was 100% at fault for losing to Trump, in fact, I said Trump voters share the most of the blame. However, she and her campaign are definitely second most to blame.

So, what I'm getting here is that the Democratic party should have ignored the will of its own members in favor of the will of another group (independents) and that Clinton should have stepped aside? (But I thought a common criticism of Clinton/the DNC was that everyone had stepped aside for her!)

This feels a bit more negative than I like, but if you check the topics around the later stages of the primary you'll see I grew increasingly disappointed and uncomfortable with the rhetoric from the hardline Sanders supporters and the way this topic has gone is kind of a rehash of that.

FWIW, I don't think Sanders himself really partook in it or anything, but it really started souring me on the whole thing.


No, I think that closed primaries/caucuses are bad for the general though. I think that if you have the entire DNC basically coronate you despite you being the weakest candidate, you take responsibility yourself and stop blaming other people for your narrow loss to a huge moron reality show rapist.

bernie is more popular currently with minority voters than white voters

minority voters went with the person they knew, who their community leaders supported, etc. in the primaries. it does not reflect the current opinion. give bernie and extra couple months to campaign before the primaries start and he wins.

the DNC did not "screw bernie" but they did absolutely do everything in their power within reason to stop him. they stacked the deck early with states Hillary would do well in, and had all the superdelegates endorse her early on, while the new coverage all showed graphs about how she was so far ahead as a result, and said Bernie had no chance, etc.

still, the reason some people acted like bernie or bust was because those people were not regular dem voters. they would not have voted for obama, biden, or clinton. To a lot of leftists, or people who regularly do not bother voting, Bernie WAS the compromise, and Clinton was too much for them. To a lot of ind voters, they respected him and hated her. You can argue over whether that is fair or not, but its true either way, To the "bernie wasn't attacked enough" shit, trump was attacked over significantly worse things to a huge degree and still won. Attacks can only do so much damage. Trump/Clinton was about battle of the people everyone hates, and the right wing asshole will always win that battle because wealthier, whiter people vote more often. Throw in someone people actually don't hate, and it is a whole new ballgame because you will get more voters, and ind voters liked bernie and still like him.


as for clinton being popular, she is popular when she is out of public eye. people don't like her when they see her.

there are no decent republicans

and hillary and her campaign members/voters are vastly disproportionately to blame for trump due to a) her inability to get people to vote for her in even close to the same numbers as obama (despite running on a platform of being his heir apparent) b) her fail strategy of not campaigning in the states that were her downfall c) the fact that all of the information available showed she was significantly weaker than bernie in the general and d) her pied piper strategy that elevated candidates like trump in the first place, when she likely would have been far stronger against someone like Jeb!
