It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.
Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.
6-12% of Sanders supporters voted Trump. ~82-83% of that 6-12% were conservatives. Bernie had broader appeal with everyone except the “vote blue no matter who” crowd because policies that immediately improve people’s material conditions are popular. Telling someone who is struggling to make ends meet “America is already great” is not popular.
For comparison, 15% of Clinton primary voters voted republican in 2008
How many didn’t vote or voted 3rd party?
The statistics don’t say, but I suspect enough that the dems would have won if they’d either nominated him or adopted his policies instead of ratfucking him in the primary and telling the people suffering who liked his policies they’re doing just fine.
