I think that Sen. Sanders did himself and the Democratic Party a disservice when he misled his supporters by claiming that the party that allowed him to run in its primary had repeatedly done him wrong. He knew better, but his pride would not permit him to tell them the truth which was that more Democrats preferred HRC over him. He appeared to me to live in an alternate reality in which he thought that black and white Democrats and poor white GOPers would automatically support him in the Democratic primaries and caucuses because he was Sen. Bernie Sanders and only he could stand up to the abuses of Wall St. As a black person in America, what offended me and turned me off to consider voting for him was when he criticized the president’s leadership abilities while ignoring the fact that GOPers in Congress had decided not to work with him on the day he was inaugurated. He also refused to acknowledge that he and the Democrats in Congress allowed the GOPers to bully them into turning their backs on key parts of the president’s agenda.
