40. Time to stop blaming bernie

Tue Feb 19, 2019, 07:31 PM

Feb 2019

Clinton lost because Trump's team capitalized on her low trust rating and her lack of a message especially towards the working class. They number crunched and with the help of a disinformation campaign, drew a fluke EC victory that will probably never happen again.

That isn't Bernies fault. Bernie could have ran independent and who knows what would have happened, but he conceded and campaigned for Clinton. The left leaning propaganda bloggers have been pounding out anti sanders (and gabbard) garbage for the past 3 years because someone is afraid of what he can achieve with name recognition.

Sanders was railroaded in the primaries and you wonder why he chooses to remain independent?
