2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A not-that-political friend's take on Bernie Sanders [View all]LibDemAlways
(15,139 posts)65. I have a Facebook friend who should be on
Hillary's payroll. Although he agrees with Bernie on just about every issue, his mantra is "Bernie will not win a single primary or caucus." 90% of his posts these days are links to pro-Hillary articles, and he routinely denigrates anyone who expresses support for Bernie.
One of many who apparently lack the courage to vote their convictions.

In the context of this OP, I'm perplexed by the energetic support for Hillary on DU.

Some folks, even on the left, are doing very well under the 'status quo'.

They live in a denial bubble that ignores the 50 million Americans living in poverty. Goldman-Sachs

...and they have the gall to pretend that those of us supporting BERNIE are the "privileged" ones.

We have to fight. Lives are on the line. It's a moral issue to ignore the millions living in poverty
