You think Sanders supporters voted for Nader? You asked every one of them? Did you also ask why all those Democrats why they voted for Bush in Florida and cost Gore the Presidency? Yeah, more Democrats voted for Bush than Nader.
Yeah, my own small business was doing great under Clinton, until his policies started to have an effect. I started to notice a change right before the election, when companies that normally only sold wholesale started to sell retail too. Screwed up my business, big time.
As for war, especially with Iran, blame Clinton, our then SOS for killing Qaddafi and further destabilizing the middle east.
Ideologues? Sanders supporters are anything but ideologues. Bernie isn't perfect, but at least he is trying to get us more to a standard of living that isn't hand to mouth. We KNOW that Hillary won't get us there, she won't even try. Many more Bernie supporters were on board with Obama and his HOPE campaign and were really bummed out when he didn't even try to make it better for those of us living from one check to another. Hillary to us, is more of the same, and we are dying trying to make it alive another day. I am really starting to think that Hillary supporters are cold hearted fish, who don't give a damn about any one other than themselves.
Clinton gives us dread, Bernie gives us hope.
