In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders voters helped Trump become President [View all]Lithos
(26,474 posts)The assumption Newsweek makes is that they were aligned more with the Democratic Party than with another message such as non-alignment. Bernie campaigned as an outsider in the Democratic Party; Trump did as well in the GOP. They would never have voted for Hillary.
The Newsweek article also sins by omission by suggesting in its headlines that these were the only voters which caused Hillary to lose. It conveniently overlooks the huge amount of Voter fraud (Systemic by Voter Purges, Comey, the Media favoritism of Trump - aka free ads, Barriers to voting, FUD, outright theft and of course the Russians) which occurred which likely took many more tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of votes out of the system. It also omits the faults of the DNC and Hillary campaigns to actively organize in key States even though the local heads were begging her team to show up.
That said, Susan Sarandon - you suck. Stick your PUMA up where the sun does not shine. There are big differences between the parties and you and your ego need to learn that. Work with us, do not sit on the sidelines complaining and doing nothing.
