Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Again: what proof do you actually have that the majority of the WPF membership voted for Bernie? You personally know how everyone voted?

The very one! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidkun_Quisling

LOL yes, this.

I confess I know very little about how sausage is made at the WFP — read your excellent explanatory post at the top first, and have since climbed down the ladder of these posts past the “it’s racist but ... !”, the “Warren gamed affirmative action and is really a Reaganite” posts, the “So this election was stolen from…

I’m also not seeing anyone offering any kind of evidence that the membership vote would have been in the bag for Sanders if it weren’t for those dratted ~~kids~~ WFP leaders.

The leadership votes in 2015 did not overturn the will of the rank-and-file members, as most certainly happened here.

Ditto. I don’t do social media at all — commenting here is the closest I come — and it seems to be an artificial phenomenon limited to these artificial venues. If you’re not on Twitter or Facebook or whatever, none of this actually has any real-world effect, it’s like folks breathlessly discussing the plot of their…

Mostly Tomatoface doing his tired schtick, thankfully.

Shut up, Tomato.

Oh, that’s cringey. Still less racist than most of the electoral alternatives, right now though, isn’t he?

A comprehensive system of national coverage for medical and mental health treatment wouldn’t hurt, either, but we see how enthusiastic the Republicans are about that.

The absolutely irrational paranoia and violent insecurities expressed by the Splinter gun nut trolls over the past number of years has pushed me way further in the direction of more gun control than I would have been had I never been exposed to it. (I was raised in a country with strict gun laws and always thought…

Nah. Nobody for whom gun ownership is that key an issue will be voting Democrat anyways. No more than Hillary won any right-to-lifers over with her “safe legal and rare” abortion schtick.
