(8,749 posts)Hillary was that in 2008. All those things she said were said out of desperation. Everybody knows it, and nobody holds it against her. There is no collective amnesia, more like giving people a pass when they're frustrated while behind. This is what politicians do, Bernie is no different in this case.
He's starting to amp up the FUD on Hillary just like Hillary did to Obama and failed. It was ugly then and its ugly now. But its not unexpected or unusual.
I don't get people whitewashing history, suggesting Hillary was chill about losing to Obama. When it became apparent that Hillary wasn't going to catch Obama she, her campaign, and her supporters became very nasty and pouted publicly in the worst way.
I'll never forget the PUMAs, and I fear Bernie people are going to PUMA as well. Its disappointing, really, I thought we were better than this.
Yes its hard to lose, I've supported Bernie in this but I'm not a hopeful idealist. I'm a realist and pragmatic, we need the change that Bernie's talking about, but he's not winning and its time to start planning the next steps and what we're going to do with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
That doesn't mean Bernie and his people should pack up and go home. But it is time to get ready for a loss and what comes after.
