as most polls and prediction models predicted. Even with voter suppression (remember this is the first pres election in 50 years not protected by the Voting Rights Act.)

the berniebot alt-left (just like the trumper alt-right) is focused on white populism, and can't stand the Clinton/Obama Dems, who tend to focus more on social liberalism and the advancement of minorities, women, gays etc, and have more of an internationalist view of the world.
