2016 Postmortem

(2,197 posts)116. But the thing is, Sanders has endorsed EVERY
Democrat for President going back, I believe, to Walter Mondale.
And he will do so this time; he's stated as much and he has a history of doing so (which is what brought about the rupture with Nader in 1996).
That's just a fact.
I do believe that his candidacy is about his ideas, though.
Now, of course, you can vote for whomever you want to, just as I will. But endorsing the Democrat nominee for POTUS, no matter who that nominee is, is a part of Bernie's history as well.
But I don't see none of his supporters flooding Bernie's FB page trying to educate him (as they did John Lewis) nor do I hear or see Bernie's supporters accusing Sanders of "Stockholm Syndrome."
