Actions of Bernie Sanders supporters thread

[Non Swing Voter]

Pointing out Clinton is awful does not equal supporting Trump.

Reminder of Clinton's horrid politics;

- Supporting the Iraq War
- Supporting Drone Strikes that kill civilians and devastate the Middle East
- Supporting Saudi Arabia
- Support for military coup in Honduras against leftist government
- US intervention in elections in Haiti against leftist party
- Support for Deregulation/Opposition to reinstating glass-steegal
- Support for bailing out the big banks
- Advocating Military Intervention in Libya

And yet still 10,000 better and more electable than the socialist nonsense you would have Americans accept.

All of the people obsessed with a particular candidate are like this but the ones supporting socialist candidates are particularly bad and dangerous because their nonsense is the best path Trump has to re-election.

Pete did terrible because he got bodied by Amy Klobuchar, absolutely ground into pieces. Not sure how that's a good thing for Bernie!

Other way around bud.

I understand that you are having difficulties coming to terms with the fact that your candidate got himself annihilated in a way few believed possible by the nice lady from Minnesota, but making Atlas threads is not a healthy coping mechanism.

do you honestly believe this is an accurate depiction of what happened?

I have never made a joke on the US Election Atlas.

What voter group do you think is going to swing to Klobuchar because she belittled Mayor Pete for losing some election?  I guess her numbers might go up because she got a lot more airtime than she has in the past and her poll numbers are so low right now, but I don't see how this helped her in any way and I don't think attacking him histrionically is going to make his supporters in Iowa suddenly not like him.

The other thing about Klobuchar.  Her whole argument seems to be morphing into "I'm from the midwest so therefore I have the best chance of winning in the midwest" but she's not even polling in the top 4 or 5 in Iowa.  If she doesn't do really well there I don't see what her schtick will be going forward.

Klob and Pete are both in competition for older whites, especially white women over 60. So Klob certainly showed some flair and could well pick up some in this demographic.

I think this strategy might backfire.  She came off as belittling in my opinion.  If I was a strong Pete supporter and someone attacked him like that (even if there was truth to it) I don't think I'd switch to her.  I'd switch to Biden probably who stayed above the fray.  But I'm biased because I support Biden.
