[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 81289, member: 35"] Gee, who could you possibly be referring to? Just because my opinion doesn't line up with your's doesn't mean I don't read what's posted here. Clinton's book is about laying blame elsewhere, so this is more of the same. She can say she didn't ignore those states, but people on the ground said otherwise. Even Michael Moore tried warning the Clinton team based on what he was hearing in Michigan. Regarding the swing states, Moore said “These are the Brexit states of America. And there’s a lot of angry people, [B]they don’t necessarily like Trump that much[/B]. But they see him as their human Molotov cocktail that they want to just throw into the system that has hurt them so badly." There was also Chuck Schumer saying Democrats would pick up two moderate Republicans for every blue collar Democrat they lost. Sounds to me like he knew her ground game was in trouble. She also had name recognition and the DNC actively working on her behalf. Even so, Sanders probably would have still lost the primary. But as we've seen lately, what a difference a year makes! Since loosing to Hillary, Sanders has spent his time advocating for the policies he ran on during the campaign. Unlike Hillary, he hasn't spent the days since the election blaming the world for his loss. Other people have tried, and he always steers the conversation back to policy. Hillary said Medicare for all would "never come to pass" a year ago, and today Bernie's bill has 16 co-sponsors. His push towards progressive populism is why he's so incredibly popular. Republicans always savage Democrats. Look at the vitriol Obama received, and he was elected to two terms. As people continue educating themselves, they realize socialism isn't the boogeyman conservatives say it is. So what's the answer? Should we do away with every party that doesn't represent the interests of corporate America and the military industrial complex? Stein voters also had more in common with Bernie, and Hillary looked down her nose at them. I'm sure many of those Stein voters also fit Michael Moore's "Brexit" theory, but just couldn't bring themselves to vote for Trump. I can certainly relate to that. No, they believe we shouldn't be confined to two corrupt parties and that politicians need to earn our vote. And if you loose to a loathsome pig like Trump, you should reevaluate your priorities instead of doubling down on everything people hate about you. Bernie's influence on the party is why the Democrats crafted the "Better Deal" economic agenda and are starting to support Medicare for all. Dems wouldn't change course if not for him. [/QUOTE]
