(2,074 posts)This is why we can't have nice things. Our progressives stab us in the back and enable the fascists.

Yeah, yeah, we all know it would be some impossible miracle if Republicans would abstain or vote for Clinton, but these "statements" are pure gibberish.
If you think Bernie is God's Gift, then go out there and push for his agenda on your own time. Don't gum up the works making "statements" nobody really gives a shit about.
This is a political cheap shot.

Doesn't really matter who they voted for (as demonstrated by the vote for Faith Spotted Eagle), it's the dissent that is the message

(9,527 posts)They weren't ignored. They lost an election. It happens. But this sort of pointless gesture of petulance isn't going to get people to pay more attention to them. The party put many of Sanders' campaign policies in the party platform. Clinton altered her campaign to reflect those. How exactly were they ignored? They even whined and moaned enough to get Debbie Wasserman Schultz on some vastly overstated claims of tilting the primary toward Clinton.

(2,897 posts)It has a much higher attendance and it will allow the Washington State Democratic party, delegates, and the electors that they empower to actually reflect the will of the people. That should be the enduring lesson of the 2016 primary, get rid of the damn caucuses.

They voted for their preferred candidate. They are a. Part of the ignorant ABC crowd.

Thanks, Washington electors - you handed the Big Orange more propaganda fodder.
