Eh, I was unclear, obviously. I was talking about the mechanics of politics, the nitty-gritty of how the political process works, and not about the broad kind of policy stuff or political ideals or the rest that you’re talking about in your reply…
Things like so many Bernie enthusiasts apparently having no idea how the Democratic primaries worked, or imaging they’re some kind of a first phase of the election instead of an intra-party arrangement, or having no clue about the superdelegates and what they meant, or (due to all the above things) insisting that Sanders was going to come back and win when it was obvious to anyone who understood the workings of the process that he was never going to catch up with Clinton, and so on.
Or, hell, the really basic understanding of how the general election and the electoral college work, and why pushing for Sanders or Warren or whomever to run as a third-party fantasy liberal savior candidate, or writing in Bernie’s name, would be not just stupid and useless, but actively counterproductive and helping Trump.
