2016 Postmortem

for the conservative nominee.

I talk to a lot of Bernie supporters since I'm in California and we are in the midst of the primary campaign out here. It isn't a matter of having "contempt for and refusal to compromise." It is being asked to compromise election after election, and in this election, having the best candidate, the candidate most likely to win in November and discovering that even in this very close contest, Hillary's supporters are unwilling to admit what a lousy candidate she is and unwilling to back the best candidate, Bernie.

So, to answer your question,

We in California are doing what we can to elect Bernie.

It is disgusting and probably a big mistake by Hillaryites to assume that she will win and will make it through to November. Bernie still has a chance to win, and we who support him feel that it is not up to us to compromise. No one has to vote in November. No one has to vote for the Democratic Party nominee, whether that be Hillary or Bernie, in November.

Hillary supporters on DU are making a big strategic mistake when they are so mean and nasty to Bernie supporters.

Nobody has to vote in November.



So I would appreciate it if those who hate Bernie and his supporters so much would at least be quiet and let those of us who have not yet voted have our time to vote.

Thank you.
