Maybe you should read up on why people would be upset over something that didn't just have to do with the loss, that would require reading more sites than JUB.
In reality from what I have see, yes there has been people upset but there have been plenty of other discussions of politics on what people should do with their time. And even if the campaign is over that the message still stands and shouldn't be lost.
Again this requires going to another website and actually looking for this kind of discussion, instead of spinning the narrative you want to spin of a supporter base.
Well, actually I do check a wide variety of sites and have read a flood of angry and hurt lashing out comments yesterday, which is why I made the comment. JUB only has a couple of ardent supporters who have vented some frustration...but some of the comments on other sites read as though they were written by hysterical 14 year old children. It included a lot of 'I'm taking my vote and going home to sulk' type of comments along with a lot of the type that Evanrick has posted, accusing all Clinton supporters of being stupid, spineless, treacherous traitors intent on letting the woman who is responsible for everything including the Zika virus, destroy the US.
I get why people are upset. Bernie has made a tremendous showing. He has contributed immensely to the discussion that the US needs to have about politics and the destruction of the middle class. As I have repeatedly noted....he is the closest thing to a Canadian politician that the US has and I would have been delighted to see him emerge as the president of the United States. I even visited his campaign office last year while in Vermont and told his staff how much we admire the man.
I personally want to see his campaign continue and to see his message get taken on board by the Democrats because in the extremely limiting and stifling two party corporatist political party system in the US, the voices of progressives and the disaffected left are being lost in the noise.
But I also recognize that the US has to move beyond the crippling paralysis of a destructive right wing political movement in Washington and at the state level...that it isn't about the president...it is about moulding the Judiciary and re-establishing bi-partisan, centrist action on a host of domestic and foreign policy issues.
It is simply too much to demand that someone could come in and take over the entire Democrat party because they want to run for President and push so hard to the left in such an incredibly short period of time that traditional centrist liberals would all flood to his side. There hasn't been any hocus pocus or theft of this election. Hillary has spent decades moving to this moment.....quite simply, she has gathered several millions more votes in the process so far than Bernie. So super-delegates aside, what we are seeing is a democratic process in action.
I pointed out about a week ago how much farther she'd be ahead of Bernie if the Democrats had a winner take all approach to the Primaries and Caucuses. So it is clear that the Democrat process has favoured Bernie maintaining a stronger showing than simple democracy would have awarded him.
I just wish that as the country moves toward the real race in November, that Bernie's supporters will see what the real stakes are and that the bad feelings, bitterness and disappointment will be put aside. As far as JUB goes, I would hope that we don't lose another group of posters because of the primary results and that people will still continue to have spirited exchanges focussing on policies of the Democrats and the Republicans.
and every single clinton supporter who thinks that sanders will just give away our leverage will somehow benefit the democratic party is exactly why they support clinton over ever other American. they just simply do not care about anyone but themselves. i hope the convention is a mess, i hope clinton is a damaged candidate and i hope she loses in november.
