    LOL I voted for Bernie in the last two primaries. Thank you for proving my point. Programmed and wound so tight you can’t even help yourself.

      Voting for Bernie doesn’t make you not able to be a Hilary apologist. She ran a shit campaign and she lost. I voted for her, doesn’t make me blind to the reality.

        Actually it does. Because I never apologize for Hillary. That was just a straw man. A baseless accusation that you made. Because you don’t have anything to actually rebut what I said. I absolutely blame Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And believe that Clinton constantly made optically bad moves throughout the campaign. Especially letting her join after what she did.

        Sanders was never really running to actually be president. He was running as a change candidate. To push Democrats towards the center. Which he succeeded at spectacularly. It’s the reason he’s still in the party. He just did much better than he ever thought he would do. If you actually knew anything about him. You’d understand all this. Or at least be curious to understand why he’s stayed with the party even after they supposedly did him so wrong. Did you ever wonder while being so outraged for him why he wasn’t equally outraged as you? No you never asked yourself that question did you.

        I’m definitely not a fan of the DNC overall. I think they choose not to fight when they should. Don’t spend time supporting or bringing up good new candidates through the ranks. And also supporting poor candidates out of institutional momentum. But realistically outside of Wasserman Schultz actions which are on her. The DNC didn’t really do anything unexpected, surprising, or out of the ordinary. As a party they’re allowed to have favorites. And if you don’t like that well then we should push to change the DNC and their rules. But Bernie knew what he was going into. Maybe you should take a cue from him.

          Cool, keep going around and making excuses for why Hilary lost. That’s not being a Hilary apologist though got it.
