    I respect the shit out of Bernie, but I’m beyond fucking tired of people whining about him.

    He lost the popular vote in both primaries.

    He wasn’t as popular as the people still whining about it think he was.

      Shit yeah, I campaigned for him and voted for him in the primary and still wasn’t surprised that he overwhelmingly lost, like it wasn’t even close. That was democratic primary voters that picked Hillary, any finger on the scales the DNC had wasn’t making a significant difference. DNC could have backed Bernie and he still would have lost. Democratic primary voters are almost exclusively liberals, I’ve already mentioned a thousand times us progressives mostly don’t vote.
