How Bernie's campaign contributed to Trump's win.

150. I respect Kurt Eichenwald immensely

Especially his reporting during this fiasco of an election, but the first time I read this I felt he was lashing out out of anger and not reality. I only know one Bernie or buster and she lives far outside our borders. I just don't believe there were enough to influence the election.
I think voter suppression and a 30 year smear campaign of an ambitious and intelligent female had as much to do with low turnout as anything. Of course the media would have done the same to Bernie, but , as we all know, there is much more leeway given to males and they haven't been at it for 30 years. As for the apathetic, that's where I think the DNC is so lacking. I don't think we'll ever reach the diehard right wingers or religious fanatics, but there are many we can reach with a better organized grassroots effort, and it's my opinion that's. not happening and that's where election rules are made.
I share Eichenwald's anger, but not at Bernie Sanders and party liberals.
