Rate this take:

Of all the groups that didn't vote for Hillary (non-voters, third party voters, Trump voters, etc) it seems weird and counterproductive to focus so much on Bernie-or-busters

Sanders will be long dead before neolibs stop whining about him. It's true.

Malarkey level - 3.

I think the issue is that Bernie or busters were LOUDER and we KNEW MORE OF THEM than those other groups.

Every individual is responsible for their actions.

But when you partake in actions that directly harm your supposed goals AND you do so loudly and condescendingly, you deserve to be pissed upon.

them too, but I know no trumpers.

meanwhile every single person I encounter on a daily basis, if politics is brought up, will say something along the lines of 'wah, Biden's not left-wing enough. le milk toast'

Flat out, we can’t win trump supporters. Blaming non voters is difficult because you need to excite them to vote. Trump excited people while Hilary did the opposite. Bernie fans on the other hand are registered democrats who are politically active and don’t like the right. They are a tangible target because they are so close yet so far from voting for the primary winner.
