2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt is very clear that Bernie and his supporters have entered a time of desperation
Reading some of these posts and replies is very telling of that fact. He can't win the nomination by delegate count. He is behind HRC by about 3 million votes. He and his followers are looking at polls in mid-May for an election in November as being a tell-all fact. Desperation, plain and simple. Then on top of that, he and his followers want to accept no responsibility when Trump is elected. How very odd. Go ahead and start on me, I could care less. I'm not desperate.

(46,179 posts)it won't be my responsibility. That responsibility will rest upon those who vote for him, and on the opponent who can't garner the support to beat him. And upon those who put that opponent on the ballot.
You, and the rest of the party establishment, will work like hell to scapegoat me, and other Sanders supporters, but all the work in the world won't make that lie the truth.
Desperation? If you think that, then you don't get it, you've never gotten it, you probably never will, or you do and you simply won't acknowledge it because it doesn't fit your agenda.
So, to repeat...it's not about Sanders, but about the political revolution, which will happen regardless of the outcome of the Democratic convention this summer. Since it's not about Sanders, we, his supporters, are not "desperate," because it's not about him. It's about the issues that he represents, and will continue to be about those issues regardless of primary outcomes, and whether the Democratic Party is an ally...or not.
Many of us are looking beyond the convention to what comes next, and the presidential campaign is probably not going to be the goal. I know it's hard for more limited people to understand.
