In reply to the discussion: DU's Bernie problem. [View all]WestwardWind
(62 posts)From my experiences, these feelings between Hillary & Bernie supporters seem to be amplified here greatly. In the real world this isn't a problem and to back up my experiences, I did some research on polling and it conforms what I thought. Bernie enjoys very high favorability among Democrats. So it seems the feelings expressed here are a sort of micro-chasm.
I haven't given up YET but my immediate feeling is that I'm not especially welcomed here and am being met with lots of skepticism. Hm.
It is funny that you cite the figure that lots of Berners didn't vote for Hillary when in fact 90% did which is a far greater number of PUMAS who refused to vote fore Obama and instead voted for McCain, 21%. I don't buy into the theroy that these people caused Hillary to lose, for they were never going to vote with her to begin with. You always get some people who think like that, sadly. The question is how can you change their minds or if you even can.
Bernie group? I'll have to try & find it, thank you!
