It's not worth it because there is no way in hell it would have happened. If Sanders had received the Democratic nomination, Drump and his flunkies would have easily demolished him with shouts of "socialist!", "communist!", etc. and Drumpf would have won in a real landslide, not the fake one he brags about to his mindless followers. I know, anything older than last week is boring retro indulgence. But maybe, just maybe, some of the Sanders fans on this board could look up what happened in the 1972 election, when Nixon, who was certainly vulnerable, got the gift of George McGovern and went on to win 49 of the 50 states. And Sanders makes McGovern look slightly conservative by comparison.
Every credit to you, though, evollove, for doing what a lot more of us should have done: work to get out the vote for Clinton even though she wasn't your first choice. But most progressives aren't doing what needs to be done to stop the most incompetent and dangerous jerk ever to be elected president. Instead, they continue to act like whipped puppies, whining about Sanders, and doing other nonproductive stuff rather than work hard on the 2018 midterm elections to get Repukes out of the majority. In the meantime, Drump supporters continue to work hard on supporting their idol. If progressives don't get out of their stupor, not only are the Republikkkans going to increase their congressional majorities, Drumpf is going to win in 2020 if we all haven't died in World War III by then.
This thread has far outlived it's usefulness. It would be great to see it closed and another one started on ways to stop the Drumpf agenda.
