re: #177 Targetpractice

You know, for supposedly being “progressive,” these spoiled children spend an awful lot of time whining about things in the past. The Sanders campaign agreed to the rules under which the primaries would be run over a year before they began, so they have only themselves to blame if they thought rallies and town halls would take the place of traditional phone pools and voter registration drives.

Perhaps Bernie should have spent a bit of time knocking it into the thick skulls of his supporters that if they wanted him to win, they needed to do more than sit at home and harass anybody who voiced doubts about him.

Exactly. And I’ll say it again but Sanders did terrible among key elements of the Dem base. I mean we’re talking nearly Republican numbers among African-American voters for one and it wasn’t much better with Hispanics. You don’t win a primary with white progressives alone. Sanders didn’t build a coalition. They want to rag on Clinton for her mistakes but they never ever want to consider Sanders made some mistakes as well.
