The Liberal case against Bernie

48. The problem with anecdotal evidence is that it waries widely, representing all view points

My local committee added Sanders supporters who became engaged in the Democratic Party during the primaries. On our County level, one of the two delegates who were elected to represent our County at the State Party level was a volunteer regional coordinator for Sanders before becoming active in the Party. She ran against an incumbent and won. Since winning she has been embraced by pretty much all of our County officials, coordinating well with everyone and carrying resolutions from our County to the State with our broad support.In other words, she's injected new energy into our County Democratic Party.

By the way, as a very active online Hillary supporter in 2008 I am well aware of a number of influential grassroots Hillary bloggers who went on to become P.U.M.A.'s. They weren't bigots, they were activists who got soured on Obama during the contentious 2008 primary struggle because from their perspective the Obama camp attacked Clinton unfairly during it. That wasn't my view, I saw some hard politics on both sides. I ended up having my access revoked to a closed forum of Hillary supporters after I openly shifted my support to Obama.
