Hillary was a politician. I will never deny that. But part of being a politician is knowing what's possible, not just in terms of finances, but in terms of political will. What congress will let you do. What states will let you do. I think it's fantastic that Bernie talked big, but at the same time, I think he led people astray with what was politically possible, especially in these hyper-partisan times. We see what the GOP did to Obama, and we call it out as racism. Pretend Bernie actually won instead of Trump, but all else remains the same - same minority with representatives and senators. Do you think the GOP wouldn't have obstructed Bernie, because he was "a commie"? Honestly?
It's fine to think Hillary wasn't genuine. Ironically, I think Bernie the least genuine person I've seen run for Presidency, simply because of this willingness to think and talk big, without showing how political politics really is. *shrugs*
Right... Now lets extend that process further.
GOP was primarily attacking Hilary correct? What do you think would have happened if she made it into office? Same exact thing that would happen to Bernie. I could be wrong but I would be completely shocked if I was. Maybe alternate universe me is eating a lot of crow right now.
So basically were back to the point that has been outlined above... The GOP and the current President are our biggest issue to overcome and always has been... Not Bernie vs Hilary. It's just people trying to grasp at something because blaming the GOP (which is the right thing to do) just feels like spinning their wheels in an ever deepening mud pool.
