Bernie was on every ballot. I voted for him, twice. The fact that he didn't win means nothing more than he didn't win. He had the opportunity, the voters simply didn't vote for him.

He would have won in the general. The primary is not reflective of the general electorate. This is the whole point.

Maybe so, but Democrats didn't turn out to vote for him in the primary, even though they had every opportunity to do so, in every single state. Kinda makes your whole point moot.

this is exactly the kind of attitude that lets trump win repeatedly.

'yeah yeah, we know you don't want the candidate we're pushing but you don't get a choice.'

then 20 million people stay home.

great fucking job. Meanwhile Sanders would have won, EITHER ELECTION. great. fucking. work.
