Sanders' challenge: Winning over Obama Supporters

[Walk away]

13. I believe that the Far Left/Highly Educated/White Sanders supporters....

believe that they are the ones who created the 2008 nomination of Barack Obama. They believed that he owed them every extreme and ultra partisan policy wish they had ever thought of. When he didn't grant them complete control of the country they turned on him viciously.

They don't seem to have much respect for the African American community. They tend to treat them like uninformed children instead of the heart and soul of the Democratic party. They also seem to believe that POC who are doctors, lawyers and successful business owners (and that is most in my area) have no reason to complain about racism.

They are completely disdainful of moderate Democrats and have written us off as "3rd party" (as if Bernie wasn't the ultimate third party all by himself).

They don't need Moderates, they don't need Blacks and they don't really need Hispanics either. They are going to rise up and march to Washington and take their country back by being really rude and dismissive to everyone else!

To the rest of us, this seems delusional. Some of us even worry about the state of their mental health when their fantastic bubble finally bursts. This only drives them into higher states of frenzy. They force everyone else out of the conversation but then find themselves in a small group of true believers who echo their own thoughts.

In the end, Sanders doesn't have what it takes to win the nomination from a party that isn't even his, and his "True Believers" are making it even worse.
