Hail Biafra!
This Democrat in-fighting is hilarious. Ya'll will lose in 2020
I don't see an agent. Haven't been noticing any clogging. Pages actually done looked open and sparse for some time. It's pleasant.

He was expected to lose and over-performed, Clinton had familiarity and name recognition going for her. The fact that Bernie even made it a competition at all speaks volumes to how well he over-performed.
Despite being disliked overall, she is/was still enjoyed a high level of popularity among Dems simply because they knew her better. Sanders was an unknown from a small state that nobody outside of that state cares about. Once the voters got more familiar with him, the more they gravitated towards him and his message. But it was too little too late for that to result in a win.
After losing, he endorsed her and campaigned for her. Could he had done so quicker? Perhaps....but he didn't let any bitterness he may have had over the primaries fester to the point that he didn't support her. And he damn sure ain't the one trying to re-litigate the 2016 campaign and his subsequent defeat over a year later. He lost and got over it. Something that Hillary has evidently yet to do. That makes her look pathetic, weak, and bitter.

I was for hillary during the election and primaries for reasons that in retrospect were oblivious to the situation in lots of the country and economic realities. If I could go back and do is again, I would probably be a bernie supporter in the primaries.
But, the reason he lost is because Hillary Clinton go a lot of support int the south and in democratic strongholds which boosted her total vote count way more than Bernie. However, it should have been an enormous redflag that she was losing in states like Michigan and Wisconsin. The states she won during the primary, she was never going to win in the general or were democratic safe no matter what. The firewall states she lost in the primary and general which should have been a red flag. I personally didn't realize it was an issue and many people didn't.
So even though she won the total vote count, the electoral math based on the primary results, showed she was probably in more danger than most people realized and that translates into maybe not being the best candidate for the general run.

I think your allowed to clapback when the team that loses in the NBA finals gets on some whiny/cryin bullshyt and stipulates one of the main reasons why they lost in the finals is because your squad played them too tough in the Western Conference Finals.
So basically Hillary & Co is all
because underdog Sanders & Co pushed her to 6 games instead of just rolling over and getting swept because "it was her turn". Sports, politics, whatever competitive venture you're entering into, just doesn't work like that. You play to win. If you ain't tryin to get challenged or compete then find a solitary activity to partake in

Especially if one of the main reasons you lost the WCF was because the Western Conference refs favored the other team, because that was their right.

shyt I'm nostalgic for 2015 / early 2016 already.
no im not trying to argue either.I'm not sure what point your trying to make? Seems like you want to argue. Check my post a few above, I don't care one way for another between Sanders/Clinton. They both have led to Trump so
I do think it's strange to champion someone for talking shyt to someone about losing, when they lost to that person.
The point i'm trying to make is, what Bernie said is objectively true.
If bernie losing to hillary was on equal footing, I would see where you are coming from. But there is a huge asterisk on Hillary's win over Bernie. For both the general and the primary, she was given every possible advantage you can think of.
Even at the start of the primary she was 60+ points ahead of everybody and the pool of Dems at the start of the primary was awful. Jim Webb amd Lincoln Chaffey were both republicans for a while until they switched a few years ago. And Martin O'malley was some run of the mill standard politician that no one knew of.
Anyway, Hillary was coasting off her name recognition. And Bernie was getting very little coverage compared to hillary.
So what I am saying is, it's not like Bernie and Hillary were on equal footing at the start. As you can see, he went from being a nobody to being the most popular sitting politician in america. The substance of what bernie was saying is unquestionably true. It doesn't matter who says it

Okay i can get with this. I still don't understand the intense hatred for the other groups though, IE Hillary fans hating bernie supporters and vice versa. We're all on the same squad #NoMasTrumpEspecially if one of the main reasons you lost the WCF was because the Western Conference refs favored the other team, because that was their right.

And kept his gripes abt the refereeing after the series was over to a minimum. Rooted for and supported the team that beat him cause nobody from the Western Conference (dems/progressives) wanted to see a Trump championship
If only the other Western squad possessed the same ability to "get over it", was less self-entitled and self-absorbed, maybe she'd be viewed more favorably
How come the candidate with the most name recognition in history even had a competitive primary?
What an evil woman. Probably the most corrupt, petty candidate ever put forth
