    Let's put it this way: most people dislike Trump, kinda like most people dislike Clinton. The more you get to know them, the less you like them, the more you hate them. If the election was rerun today, Clinton would still lose to Trump sez a recent poll. Meanwhile Sanders is far and away the most popular politician in America. Go figure.

    Between the corporate media, the Clinton machine and the corporate Democratic Party apparatus — all of whom would rather've lost to Trump than've won with Sanders — the moderates you're talking about were more disinformed than misinformed about Sanders' real life policies.

    Clinton actually ran on there "never, ever" being the kind of guaranteed health care in the U.S. that every other industrialized democracy has. That Germany already had before the Dakotas, Montana and Washinton were even states. I don't think there's a very clear picture out there even now of what he was talking about.

    Corbyn and Sanders lost and maybe the best thing about that is that once these feckless idiots in charge right now are gone, we're going to need them in the worst way.

    When McCain/Palin were beaten, thank the stars above, their own campaign manager said "There are worse things than losing." Corbyn and Labour might see the wisdom in that right now.
