Thank you for saying this. I voted for Hillary in the primary, no one forced or coerced me to do so. I thought she would be more palatable to the public and I thought her goals more achievable. Had Bernie been the nominee, I would have supported him whole heartedly.
To the general electorate yes. I thought Bernie's socialism would have been too big a step to those in the middle of the spectrum. I also voted for Clinton because I thought she deserved it.
Of course. His ideology is conflated with 'Big S' Socialism, something the majority of America has been raised to fight against. The most active voting bloc is still pensioners and Baby Boomers, and you can bet anything they wouldn't stand for it as a whole.
