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.
I still think Bernie started out as a reasonable politician who wanted to make a statement and maybe influence the Democratic platform, etc.
And then the crowds came, and the bird landed and Bernie’s ego took over.
And it hasn’t stopped yet.
That’s my take, and it will be hard to change it.
