If Hillary was uninspiring, it's unlikely she'd have won the popular vote by roughly 3 million votes - the same amount she beat Sanders by in a much smaller pool of voters
She may not have inspired you, but that's irrelevant
Lol no she was uninspiring.
You're being so disingenuous I'm wondering if you were even around during this time.
"Bernie Bros" was the DNC attempt to push people into Hillary. She shot herself in the foot several times over making people uninterested in voting for her or unsure in her leadership. The fainting, the Benghazi bullshit, the pokemon go to the polls, Clinton tie. Nobody wanted her.
The election you are talking about was between her and Trump so how does Bernie even factor into that? He doesn't. Silly.
What you should really pay attention to is the political climate. Not one single voter today wants Hillary that's why she doesn't run, she's done. Nobody would vote for her. People still want Bernie and the things he calls for.
You are outside your mind trying to tell anyone people wanted Hillary they literally didn't. Go look at how well the Green party did that election. Go find the articles calling for Sanders to switch to green party, go look at how much Jill Stein was blamed for Hillary's loss.
You're clueless buddy.
You said Sanders would have won, but he didn't even win with Democrats /shrug.
I wanted Hillary lol. She's my favorite politician of all time, and probably will be until Butti peaks.
I understand you disagree, but you're one person and numbers don't lie
Nah never said that lmfao
Sanders had vision and understood what Americans want. Clinton is a fuckin neolib shill scum and people saw through it. lukewarm tepid fuckin trash politics with no goal but status quo and her own pay outs.
By the way your favorite politicians scumbag friend died.
Most Americans disagree with you.
apparently not
Clinton literally won a majority of votes.
holy fuck lmfao
the DNC shoved her in, hence why bernie didn't abdicate which is odd and not something typically done because he knew it was trash.
then she lost to Trump.
so what the fuck are you talking about? she was a "not trump" vote and the DNC forced her win in the primaries.
if she really had a chance she'd run again, she isn't because she won't win because nobody wants her lmfao
She won by 3 million votes.
No she didn't? You're delusional.
It is like talking to an actual retard lmfao
Bernie won every state Clinton would go on to lose. It is known the DNC ran everything past her campaign during primaries. I have no idea where you get this 3 million number but it's a lie you're the only one buying.
Nobody wanted Clinton, she was carried by the DNC and every state she lost to Trump Bernie bested her in, literally most swing states. The proof is there babe you're arguing with yourself and you know it lol
Bernie lost to Clinton. Full stop. Bernie couldn't even get a plurality of votes in the primary.
Bernie was dead in the water period.
He woulda beat Trump though would've won the states Clinton lost because she was uninspiring hence Jill Stein's great showing as a third party, even Rand Paul did well.
You weren't there though you literally don't know lmfao and now her career is over, why? because nobody likes her
I was literally there
yet don't know what you're talking about lol
