261 eventually became democrat mini-HQ so I can see why they'd take "democrats need to do better" as "he's telling people to not vote democrat!!!!!!!!!!!" but for sane people, that's not how they'd read this lightest of criticisms.

261 was almost universally progressive.

Or maybe progressives would vote if they felt like they had a chance??? Obama ran a progressive campaign and was wildly successful. Democrats kneecapped Bernie with counting superdelegates and showing Hillary as a lock early on. Then they assembled moderate voltron for Biden. Democrats fight harder against progressives than republicans.

Hillary. Got. More. Votes. From. The. Voters.

So did Biden.

If the delegates went against the voters and put Bernie as the candidate for the general instead of Hillary or Biden, then that would have been an example of voter suppression/disfranchisement.

You're the one that has to appeal to the voters instead of shaming them.

And if your response is: "well achhtually we can just let trump win"

then you can just fuck off because you aren't a person that cares about progressive values.
