2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: CNN: Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton [View all]NoGoodNamesLeft
(2,056 posts)14. I honestly didn't see it that much in the media
I did see it here...and a few times I went to that disgusting JPR site and looked at what was being posted. For me personally, the vile filth I saw on that site was the cause for me personally...and I had always liked Bernie a lot...even before anyone here did. I remember him from living in Vermont in the 90's. I can't even see his face, hear or look at his name or hear his voice without being reminded of the ugliness I saw from some of his supporters. It's not what I wanted but that is the reality and I'll never be able to get past it.

I do not doubt you have absolutely no idea just how mind-mindbogglingly selfish that sounds

What I want is irrelevant; by not rallying around Clinton, Sanders supporters helped elect Trump
