(1,399 posts)That doesn't surprise me in the least.
AND do not think for a second that the stuff you have linked to didn't burn my ass too.
However, on the other side, I was active in both Obama presidential campaigns AND in Bernie's primary campaign. In fact, I bet I was more active than the majority of the Bernie bashers in Secretary Clinton's GE campaign, returning to the same groups I spoke to during the primary to convince them that a candidate doesn't have to agree with their first choice on every point in order to deserve their support.
Back in 2014, I watched the faces in my community when red state Dem after red state Dem refused to stand up for the ACA, refused to stand up for criminal justice reform, and refused to stand up against them getting gunned down in the street by the cops. All I can do is tell you is that if you think Pitt kept more people home in the communities I worked during the campaign than the Obama-shunning red state Democrats, you would be incorrect.
As I said before, though, what you described cannot be denied and was complete b.s. I agree.
