2016 Postmortem

You're the one making that implication, and frankly, it's a ridiculous assumption to make. Why create a ridiculous implication, and then take offense at something you made up on your own? Why falsely victimize yourself to pretend that we're the enemy?

There is something evil and illegitimate with taking a common English word, used properly in context and then creating some ridiculous Godwin drama out of it. Your entire point here is that you felt that you and your fellow Bernie supporters were not appeased to a level that you wished, and you're upset about it. It's perfectly legitimate to call that nonsense out for the pure bunk that it is.

There was no phenomenon, the party didn't need "renewing" in the image of those who spent all their time attacking it and its members in pretty abusive terms, it was already in a new era, but those who were upset that they didn't get their way were too busy throwing around abuse and utter lies as to why not getting enough votes for the "phenomenon" meant that there was rigging, and that those who took the time to register, to do their homework and to vote were somehow the epitome of all evil.

You seem to forget the level of animosity from sore losers in the primary, and how the rest of us were treated as the enemy, pounced on, abused and otherwise harassed. Why did you turn your back on the party, why all the poutiness and all the rooting for Trump or candidates that hurt the party and the country? Why all this drama now?

Bernie isn't even the Democrat he assured us he'd be when he was in the primaries, he can't even keep his word or even his principles. He and his followers called HRC and the party "evil" for stating that a fight for a $12 minimum wage was feasible, but wasted no time clasping hands with Trump and crowing about "working with" Trump for $10. Not consistent, not phenomenal, and not really "renewing" much in this new era where facts don't matter and lies rule.
