In reply to the discussion: Dead Enders Still Hoping For HRC Indictment So BS Will Win [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)... by Bernie supporters who insisted that Bernie's "message" would transcend all party affiliations, would appeal to everyone (Dems and GOPers alike), and would be embraced by "the People" en masse.
How quickly it devolved into "if HRC is indicted, Bernie can still pull this off" being his campaign's ONLY hope - oh, and convincing the SDs to ignore the will of the people and crown Bernie "The Loser" Sanders as the nominee.
"A future to believe in" quickly became "a future we can pass off as one that people believed in" if only Hillary is brought down, and the voice of "the People" can somehow be ignored.
It's a sad ending to a story that began with, "Once upon a time, there was a man who insisted he was all about The People" and ended with, "And then the Man of the People decided that The People shouldn't be listened to after all, if they stood between him and the Crown."
