2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere is why they need us Bernie supporters.
As Hillary's numbers approach Trump's numbers, the powers that be in the dem party remain confident about their chances in the GE because they count on us progressives and a lot of independents dragging our tails to the polls to vote for the lesser of two evils. However, this time Debbie Wasserman-Schulz has been particularly ugly about how we should not be allowed representation in the dem party--all lifelong dem supporters and voters. Reliable voters. She has been vile. Think about it: Bernie's supporters are young. Hillary's supporters are old. In 2020 and 2024 we will be the majority. I will probably be dead before there is a candidate I can get excited about again. The voter suppression has hurt my feelings. I am soon to be 70 years old.

Why would our coalition need that sort of backbiting?

(40,656 posts)to Trump at 35%. That includes her supporters, your 'coalition'. even among her supporters they don't trust her. That is why you need us. Her support is an inch deep and a mile wide. You can't win jack without us. 'Coalition'. Sad.

(27,787 posts)Your OP is simply wrong.
And you want to blame DWS for voter suppression in states where a GOP majority controls the elections.
So wrong again.
