(174,888 posts)Are you posting on JPR? You will like that site. Facts and reality do not matter on the JPR site and sanders can do no wrong according to the posters on that site. For posters who cannot deal with the real world, it is a good place where one can ignore facts and the real world. You are evidently allergic to facts and the real world which means that you will enjoy a place where fake news and Russian talking points are the norm.
I am so very amused that you are unable to deal with the facts that show that sanders and sanders supporters were responsible for trump's victory. This level of denial does not surprise me in that I have seen it on JPR. ,Since you do not want to deal with facts or the real world, please visit JPR. People who can not deal with facts will fit in on that site. In addition, the Russian trolls and Putin fake news will no doubt re-enforce your incorrect views about sanders
In lieu of hiding on JPR, I would encourage you to get out into real world. Attend some county party meetings or work on a race for a real democrat. Illinois may have some interesting races. Your current governor needs to go. Go attend a state convention. State conventions are fun and you will meet people who live in the real world of politics. Go block walk for a candidate or phone bank. Talk to some real people in the real world. I will be at the state convention in a couple of weeks. We have an idiot bernie supporter running for state party chair and I need to vote against that idiot. In addition, we will be working on statewide voter protection plans. In 2016 we had a statewide hot line and coordination between the Clinton campaign and the state and county parties. I trained and we had 200+ poll watchers out in 2016 and kept the GOP from trying to enforce the old voter id law that was modified in litigation. Despite having a teabagger run the Harris County elections, Harris County turned blue. The poor teabagger who ran Harris county elections got grief for Harris County turning blue.

This cycle will be better in that a lady who I trained as a poll watcher in 2012 was elected in 2016 to the office that controls voter registration (Texas used to have a poll tax and so the tax office controls voter registration). This will one of the first cycles where we are not suing to get voter registration forms in other than one language (Harris County has ballots in six different language).
The real world is a nice place for those of us who live in the real world. In my case, I and other real democrats are working to turn Texas blue. We are going to do this by ignoring the idiots endorsed by sanders and Our Revolution and work to elect real democrats. I spent the Texas primary day and the primary run off day in the war room answering questions. It is always nice being around real democrats. Working in the real world is rewarding and I urge yo to consider getting out into the real world.
If you do not want to go out into the real world, then go visit JPR and enjoy a safe space where facts and reality can be ignored and sanders can do no wrong. I will continue working in the real world and Texas will turn blue
