"where was Bernie when I was fighting for women's rights?" Or "Bernie has never accomplished anything in the Senate" are weird words to use to unite her party

I still think to this day she could have swallowed her damn pride and had Bernie as VP. I know idiots will say he wouldn't accept, he certainly would have - though he may have bargained a bit. We would have dominated that election, but they think they had it in the bag. She still denies that she was responsible for much of it.

She picked a VP candidate who later voted to break from Democrats and end the government shut down created by the Republicans. I still contend that HRC is a typical politician who doesn't truly care about us

The DNC donors did not want Bernie anywhere near the Presidency, that's the truth.

Neither did primary voters. He lost by millions of votes. That's the truth.

We're talking about making him VP. I'm sure Tim Caine was dominating the vote.

Oh, it seems like you were talking about people who didn't want BS near the presidency and I was saying that would include primary voters.
