2016 Postmortem

You mean you really don't see what's wrong with this picture?

In the primaries, when Sanders' opponent was a Democrat and a progressive (though not as progressive as Sanders who is a Socialist), Sanders supporters here on DU were sending their candidate money on a regular basis and volunteering to work as many hours as possible to work in his campaign. Heck we had people on DU who spent their time doing their best to manipulate internet polls so they could say Sanders won.

However, in the general election, the Hillary's opponent was egotistical narcissist who lied every time he opened his mouth and courted Putin to hack Hillary's emails. Did the Sanders' supporters enthusiastically support Hillary. Did they give money to Hillary's campaign, did they volunteer to work for her campaign? No, most did not.

Can you possibly understand how irrational that totally inconsistent that behavior was? When the opponent is another progressive they were all in, and then some. But when the opponent was someone many Americans wouldn't want anywhere close to the nuclear button, the best they could do was hold their nose and vote for Hillary. And some of them didn't even do that.

That's simply sad.
