In reply to the discussion: There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of what Sanders goals are [View all]chwaliszewski
(1,514 posts)64. Wrong. Again.
Essentially, what you're saying is there should be only 2 presidential candidates to choose from on election day. Any more than that, and the loser can accuse them of being a spoiler. Perhaps, a majority of the people who voted for Jill Stein (whom I do not support, btw) would not have voted for Hillary had it only been her and Donald running in which case your proclamation is merely speculative and not factual. I'm disappointed with Cheetolini as POTUS like you are but seriously, let go of the 'Hillary lost because of Jill' tripe.

OP is wrong and your response shows why. Sanders absolutely accepted a leadership role

Reagan did not "crush unions." He dismantled one, the Air Traffic Controllers.
