2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A study in vindictiveness: If Bernie loses, his backers maynot be there 4 Hillary in November [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)41. You look at independents and see ignorant suckers
and your perspective is valid from where you sit.
Likewise, others have valid pov's of their own.
Many people describe another's pov, and call it their own. It's usually not.
Few think for themselves, or challenge their own beliefs.
Many see Clintons as part of this nation's problem. They (and I) are ignorant of your particular pov.
We just don't see what you see in her.
As for me I see an honest man whose adversary is not the dnc, nor hilary, nor the republicans, but Corruption itself. I can not in good conscience vote for a dishonest person.
Corruption permeates Hilary's campaign.You don't see it. not your fault.

The lovely thought expressed at the end of this post is a huge part of the reason.

That is a well researched post. I'm impressed...a good tally of reasons I'm for Bernie...

Then it might serve the more corporate candidate to learn some humility...or at least
