Sanders voters helped Trump win the White House. Could they do it again?

See NBC article at link below...And BS wants to be head of the Democratic Party?

He's being supported by:

1) Trump
2) Russians
3) Rus-publicans
4) Wall Street Journal
5) Several voters who will NOT vote for the final D nominee unless it is BS.

Gee, no wonder BS should be head of the D party!

"Russia, if you're listening, 2020 ain't no 2016. We're on to you, thanks to Putin's puppet who tells us everything! "

and the "bernie bros" movement that really cost hillary and AMERICA. This is not the first time voters who should KNOW better let america suffer and much was to "teach us a lesson" moment.

imagine how different the world wouild be if the leftist had voted for Gore in 2000 and not Nader? I stagger when I think about the damage our country took and still paying for as substantial numbers that impacted the outcome WASTED their votes in helping Bush/Cheney win in 2000. We saw the same play in 2016 and will see the same in 2020.

Our answer should be overwhelming surge of all democrats with voting in Nov. I refuse to have my party hijacked today like we were in 1972 and we all know the outcome of that election. Nearly destroyed the democratic party and wasn't for Nixon/Watergate, we made have had non-stop republican rule for 40 years straight.

not to get duped by Trumpers and Russian bots again. Seriously, who is that naive and cares so little for the country that they get outplayed by maggats. Seeing how they are already throwing tantrums and pushing conspiracy theories, I don't have much faith that a considerable faction won't get outsmarted again. Imagine that for second: Getting outsmarted by maggats and then falling for it again...

I think they will vote against Trump. I have several Sanders supporting friends and all of them will vote Biden if they have to. This group includes two former Stein voters. So, anecdotally, I’d say we’re in a better situation than we were in 2016.

Trump maxed out the republican vote in 2016. We had 1 million votes stay on the bench. It doesn't matter that the hardcore Bernie supporters vote for Trump, they did that last time. What we need is a good part of that 1 million showing up, if that happens, we win Florida, Pennsylvania, likely Ohio, likely North Carolina (having a fairly popular democratic Governor up for reelection there helps out cause), and Michigan.

Telling Bernie supporters they’re a bunch of Russians and Trump hugging assholes isn’t going to encourage their turnout! Please just think about it.

I do, however, suggest what is fact and that is Bernie is supported by a whole faction of people because they know he will be much easier for Trump to defeat. I've outlined that in my post.

I also do suggest that some of the BS supporters are deliberately being divisive . Not all, not most, but "some." I have no knowledge why, but I see this with NO other D Presidential candidate....EVER, at least since the 1980s or so.

I genuinely like Bernie, and I totally understand his appeal. I also like many of his ideas. At another time, I might actually vote for him. I just don't think they are right for 2020, but if he works with Biden (if Biden actually wins the nomination) to negotiate positions, that's the way forward. But not for his genuine supporters (i.e NOT the Russians and Ruspublicans) to be badly behaved Bernie Bros.

BS is not a D, and he is not behaving as one. That troubles me and many, many others GREATLY.
