The problem wth Bernie is he wasn't in the democrat inner clique. Sadly that's how life rolls sometimes. Even though someone else may be better suited, the other one is someone you know. Simple nepotism.

I am mad, sad too even thou I wasn't as delusional as you were :lol:

I amnt sure if the voters who refused a moderate democ would vote for a far left socialist lol .. But since the election was kinda close and Hillary won the popular vote, Bernie would have won by energizing the democrats. Many of stayed home, others vote for Jill nd that idiot who couldn't name Aleppo smh.

don't you think it's unfair for someone who didn't win the majority of the votes to win presidency! Murica should consider reforming its election system.

Bernie Sanders didn't even come close to Clinton let alone shared any impeccable planning throughout the primaries but that's neither here nor there. Lets not forget he applied for conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War. In the eyes of many he's a draft dodger to serve his country. That alone would've been detrimental to his campaign or any chance he thought he had against Trump.

FALSE.

''So while it was true that Sanders sought conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War draft, that cannot in any way be conflated with the specific meaning of the term "draft-dodging." Further, Sanders was eligible for student deferments until at least 1964, when he graduated from the University of Chicago. By the time his number came up, Sanders was too old to be drafted.

Trump didn't go to Vietnam.

Bernie spoke to white working class voters. He'd have pointed out the hypocrisy of Trump being ant-establishment when Trump HIMSELF donated to the Democrats for 40 years and recently to the Republicans. Trump is a product of the rigged system which is shown with how he built his fortune by getting subsidies from NY government and huge tax breaks and rent discounted.

The Sanders campaign would have had legitimate dirt on Trump and been credible at it too.

The low voter turn out was also due to the strong polls for Clinton and the inevitability of Clinton winning. Democrats got complacent and they're going to regret it

Bro .. That's nothing. Trumpf said, did worse things yet voters ignored and elected him. Ppl wanted an outsider, they've had enough with clintons. Her dishonesty, lying, no being likeable didn't help too.

Anyways who do you guys think will be the leader of the Democratic Party now? Sanders/warren group or Tim Kain/joe Biden group?

Demos need to reevaluate their strategy. appealng to minorities only isn't enough. They got their asses handed to them last night. Ps they should pay attention to governors, state houses. Right now, republican control most of the states :down:

"Let me be very clear. In my view, Democrats will not retain the White House, will not regain the Senate, will not gain the House and will not be successful in dozens of governor’s races unless we run a campaign which generates excitement and momentum and which produces a huge voter turnout.

With all due respect, and I do not mean to insult anyone here, that will not happen with politics as usual. The same old, same old will not be successful.

The people of our country understand that — given the collapse of the American middle class and the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality we are experiencing — we do not need more establishment politics or establishment economics.

We need a political movement which is prepared to take on the billionaire class and create a government which represents all Americans, and not just corporate America and wealthy campaign donors.

In other words, we need a movement which takes on the economic and political establishment, not one which is part of it."

I'm not being propogandist. Clinton was extremely corrupt, and forced her will on the DNC by whatever means necessary to enable her candidacy. Biden was coerced not to run and Sanders was laughed at by the very establishment meant to hold a fair/free primary during his entire candidacy.

It was Clinton 100% from day one. Democrats were lied to/force fed a woman with 20+ years of scandals, corruption, and dishonesty that nearly 70% of the American public did not trust.

The Wikileaks had a major impact, the Clinton foundation corruption had an impact, Benghazi, Whitewater, sex scandals, Soros, mass immigration etc etc.

Biden or Sanders would have won, ESPECIALLY Biden. Democrats may dislike Trump all they like, but they have no one to blame but themselves. While a large percentage of democratic voters were in denial Trump supporters turned out for gigantic rallies, and unprecedented numbers at the polls.

While Trump and Bernie had 20-30k people at their rallies, Clinton attracted a few hundred. Democratic voters *chose* to believe blatant media bias, "Russia" excuses and ignore the huge swelling of "real world" and social media support for Trump.

This was an arrogant, ignorant and elitist response to a movement much bigger than the actual man delivering the message. This vote was a conduit which essentially said "we want change, by any means necessary".
