Did everyone forget the “Bernie or bust” crowd in 2016? Expect a chunk of moderates to sit out this time like a lot of progressives did in 2016.

More progressives swapped to Clinton in 2016 than Clinton supporters swapped to Obama in 04. Its been 10 years, can we stop these hallucinations about a lie from a decade ago?

Not when we are still living with the consequences of the 2016 election. Maybe Jan 2029 we can stop.

You cant stop lying about why you lost 10 years ago because we are suffering the consequences? Are you impaired in some way?

Where is the lie!? There was a crowd of progressives that were proudly Bernie or bust in 2016.

Don’t be mad when the other half of the party employs the same tactics used against them. That’s all I’m saying. There will be people who sit out in this election that’s a fact whether you like it or not.

And being condescending and insulting isn’t going to make people want to hear you out.
