(96,555 posts)sure no one is going to say, such and such candidate would have been a better choice?
There are a lot of reasons for what happened, and at the top of the list is Comey and the FBI, but the false narratives propagated by the media, and supporters of certain candidates during the primaries, ranks right up there, and the fact that a good number of those candidate's supporters who refused to vote for the Democratic nominee, or voted third party, made what happened a reality.
Taking just the state of Michigan as an example, trump won by .3% of the vote. Jill Stein received 1.1% of the vote. Similar examples can also be shown in other states.
The 47% eligible voters that refused to vote were willing accomplices with the third party voters.
Frankly, I am disappointed that you want to reopen the primaries for discussion.
That is the narrative that the media is now going with also, if only so and so was the nominee.....
You see, that takes all the blame away from the media. You know, the media who told us there were WMDs in Iraq.
I don't care to relive the primaries again at DU. Once was enough for me.
There are plenty of ways to discuss the future of the Democratic party, and a rehash of the primaries provides very little except the blame game from Monday morning quarterbacks, who may very well have not even voted for the Democratic nominee.
Have fun........
