2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I don't get it. Why are so many HRC supporters so frantically belittling Sanders' Vatican invite? [View all]Zira
(1,054 posts)53. They can't handle that their candidate is too corrupt and they are losing.
At this point they are betting on 1. voter suppression, and 2. joining Hillary's scorched earth by attacking everything Bernie.
It must suck to support such a dishonest 1% corpratist and have to go against an actual honest candidate for the 99%.
They are on the wrong side of history and that is probably consistent for them.
