I know a lot of *very active* Bernie supporters. Very few were disappointed that Hillary lost. While many Bernie supporters either wrote in Bernie’s name or voted for Jill Stein (including myself), a surprising number voted for Trump outright, many of them are people of color who know that the real divide is economic, not social.
After eight years of “hope and change” that brought even more wealth and power to the elite that we were fighting against in 2007-2008, people were done with the theatrics, propaganda, and empty words. We were going to have a populist president as the outcome of this general election, and there were only two choices: Bernie Sanders (the honest one with the integrity and long, consistent track record to back up what he was saying) or Donald Trump (a moronic tool of the elite who was used to “frighten” the unthinking into voting for HRC).
The DNC made their bed; now, they will have to lie in it. We warned them that this would happen.
