Sorry to say this is another case the leadership not letting the voters decide.2016- the momentum was behind Sanders and he would have won if the hurdles were not so high.2024-We really did not have a choice and the country will pay for it,

Newbie pointing out something valid. DUmmies disagree..

1. Wong. Sanders had no chance of winning in 2016.

As I recall, Sanders had good momentum in '16 but Hillary shenanigans ensued denying him his rightful place.

6. I think Kamala ran a almost perfect campaign. The choice was easy - bad choices have consequences.

We knew that.

Hillary Clinton received more votes than Bernie Sanders

The entire Democratic Party rallied around Kamala Harris when President Biden stepped out of the race. Republicans, with assistance from the media, forced President Biden out of the race on the age issue.

The voters who chose Trump are responsible for the hurt and harm it will do to our country.

No offense, but BULL. Hillary lost because of Comey and the MSM saying that the email investigation was reopened 11

days before the General election. THAT WAS A LIE, but the MSM for the next week paraded every right wing pundit across their platforms propagating that LIE.

At the end of the week, late Friday, Comey quietly came out and said there was no additional information to reopen the case. That was hardly covered, but it was too late anyway, the damage had been done. Hillary was ahead by 4-5 point before Comey, and that was completely erased after Comey. This is rocket science.

As for Sanders, THE PEOPLE DID DECIDE DURING THE PRIMARIES. Which part of that don't you understand?

It is also interesting that most of the major players that were part of the Sander's campaign, David SIrota, Nina Turner, Brihanna Joy Gray, Cornell West not only refused to support Hillary when she became the nominee but encouraged others to do likewise.

The Supreme Court was at stake then, and everyone knew it, still people like Cornell West who was not a Democrat, but was given a seat at the Democratic table, after the Convention immediately went and endorsed Jill Stein.

You remember Jill Stein don't ya.

In every critical swing state, Hillary lost by less than 1%, while in those same criticial swing states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote.

It didn't take much. add that to what comey did, thanks for nothing.

You're brave . . . good luck with that!

Oh, please. Stop. That's ridiculous and everyone knows it.

I've had just about all the "grievance-politics" I can stand for one lifetime.

I agree with this DUmmie completely. The choice was easy. She was an empty suit who was part of the administration that caused prices to skyrocket, caused the world to burn, and left our borders as porous as what passes for a DUmmie's brain. Her administration also showed that if you dare to disagree with them they will assault you verbally and with trivial BS lawsuits. Yes, the choice was easy, and the piss poor bad choices that she and SloJo made throughout their administration made the choice even easier.

Yeah, many registered Dems wanted Bernie, but the machine and Hillary worked the system to keep him out.  Don't know how he would have fared in the general election, but it is fascinating that we now see a second time that the supposed supporters of democracy tell their followers who the candidate will be, regardless of the party's votes. 

Not that the hive mind will admit or acknowledge either event.

The DUmp'Rat Bob-numbers also misses the point though, because for the past couple of Leftist Scum regimes, the Dim'Rat Party has gotten away with filling the VP role with Impeachment Insurance for the scumbag in the Center Seat, banking on the odds being remote that they'd ever have to pull the Veep off the bench and put them in play. Well, the odds came back to bite them in the ass this time, and they discovered that when you put an absolute stinker into the Veep slot as impeachment insurance, you've absolutely shot yourself in the foot when you have to run the impeachment insurance as your candidate.

(Technically the Dims got bit by that fact TWICE now; they were able to throw 18 million fraudulent votes onto Joe Biden's side of the scale in 2020 to compensate for his inability to appeal even to the Dim'Rat base. This time they weren't able to Fraud the Vote without being caught at it.)
