For Those Who Are Pissed That Biden Is Doing Well:

48. Pissed is the wrong word

I do find it odd you use Hillary as an example. Are you asking if some were pissed BEFORE or AFTER the election?
I think most of the anger was first directed at Comey, then the MSM news shows, then Putin and GOP trolling and voter suppression. But after that?...perhaps there was a shaking of the head by some Sanders supporters that, like everyone else, thought Hillary would win. And hung onto that fact as the saving grace of their perfered candidate not winning. And that she didn't (technically) was exasperating.

If Sanders had actually won the nomination, (just imagine) as a Hillary supporter, would you describe your feelings as "pissed"? Dissapointed maybe. Concerned perhaps. (Especially if that loss came along with leaks how the DNC was working for him, and had plans to sabotage Hillary's chances if she got close).

I think its only natural that Sanders supporters were not happy. Those that could not rectify their feelings left the site. The ex-Sanders supporters that have remained, like myself, have learned to live with all that plus the ongoing nasty comments about someone you respect enough to support them for President. Add to that the belief that, going by the polls, we believed that Sanders would have beaten Trump, and thus saved us all of this nightmare, plus things like the SCOTUS. How would you feel if that happened to your preferred candidate?

But if you are asking are the DUers here that support more progressive candidates 'concerned' that we may nominate a candidate that is cut in almost the same cloth as the Clintons? Sharing not only a close friendship, but much of their third way, more conservative status quo approach? And thus might be brought down by not only a surge of Trump voters egged on by freshly invented "scandals", linking him to "corrupt Hillary", but also by lack of support from the left by a perceived disenfranchisement of a younger, and more progressive base, that once again would feel left out? (whether warranted or not)? Perhaps. But only because those people's ultimate desire is to have Democrats win, and win the most they can. And they have a different opinion on who would accomplish that goal.
