It's all those political puritans who, because their first choice lost the nomination, voted for no-hopers like Stein or Johnson, or who simply stayed home, who are to blame for Trump. Look what your ideological purity and your righteous indignation have inflicted on us all. You must be very proud.
I am not and still do not quite know what contributed to Hillary's loss in FL, PA, MI and WI. But blaming Bernie's supporters, some of whom may not have voted, is not the answer as this will only further fragment the Democratic party. Is that what we want?
