Bernie Sanders voters helped Trump become President

335. Thanks for the little lesson on how our democracy works

And for the deft moving of the goalposts.

I believe we are skating on the edge of refighting the primaries here, so I will keep it brief:

Your post raised the issue of the "brilliant strategy" of allowing a third party to split the vote in the GE, implying that, had he not been permitted to run as a democrat, he might have run as a third party candidate and split the vote.

Now you seem to be saying he would not have done that, or if he had done that, he would have been considered a joke.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. She did not fail. She was brought down by an unprecedented set of circumstances. The Sanders campaign was only one piece of that.

As to your assertion that Sanders is a natural ally, much of his behavior, during the campaign and recently, calls that into question.
