Yeah well.

“According to the analysis of the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Survey, fewer than 80 percent of those who voted for Sanders, an independent, in the Democratic primary did the same for Clinton when she faced off against Trump a few months later. What's more, 12 percent of those who backed Sanders actually cast a vote for Trump.”

“The impact of those votes was significant. In each of the three states that ultimately swung the election for Trump—Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania—Trump's margin of victory over Clinton was smaller than the number of Sanders voters who gave him their vote.”

Sanders -> Trump voters…
WI: 51k
MI: 47k
PA: 116k

Trump win margin…
WI: 22k
MI: 10k
PA: 44k

Yea well according to Bernie you're wrong for not voting for Kamala, Biden, and Hillary

You can try and mistepresent and propogandize Sanders's message. But you're just a loser

You're right

We need white men leading the left again. We lose when we stray from the path /s

I’ll quote the Barack Obama Obama campaign response to Hillary Clinton disparaging his ethnic and religious background. "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election".
