Sanders Supporters Viciously Attack Bernie Sanders After He Criticizes Mistakes Of 2016 Sanders Campaign
snip
“How dare Bernie say that Bernie didn’t do enough to reach women and African American voters? He clearly doesn’t know the first thing about what Bernie stands for. But if he wants to obsess over the past and quibble about semantics, so be it. We’ll be over here with Bernie Sanders starting a revolution.”
This will be a short diary. And while it may seem like flame bait, I don’t intend it to be. I voted for Sanders in 2016, still love his policies.
I think some Sander’s supporters cannot accept their candidate’s flaws. Every candidate has flaws. We all choose who we will vote for based on some personal calculus of strengths and weaknesses. That is no different for Sanders as it is for any candidate. For some Sander’s supporters, however, it seems like they are unwilling to accept their candidate has any flaws or that other candidates have any strengths.
All that said, this diary is not intended to hash out the specifics.
My question to those who support Sanders is “Why is this Onion article funny? What can you, perhaps, learn from it?”
That is all.
