(26,060 posts)she didn't lose badly. She was advised badly and her people didn't take the time to know what the caucus system was all about. Frankly, I had no idea you could get the most votes in a caucus state and still lose which is what happened with Nevada (my mother, although she voted for Pres Obama, left the Democratic party because of that). I don't know how anyone can look at either Clinton and call them racists but believe what you want. She had no control over the PUMA's (a group that still makes me very angry) and they have as much a right to their purity nonsense as you do. She joined the Obama administration and did good work and completely supported a campaign that called her and her husband racists. That's what a real patriot does. That's what a loyal Democrat does. Your purity party is a fantasy and if you think this country is ready for a far left candidate I'm just going to ahead and think you're too young to remember what happened to McGovern. THAT's what will happen to any Sanders (who I love) or Warren (love her too although she's not nearly as liberal as DU seems to think).
So vote for another Nader or sit home and pout and watch what happens to your rights in a right wing supreme court. Watch SS become privatized and Medicare become a voucher system. It seems it takes a blowout election to teach some people what the real world is all about.
