Meanwhile, the state initiative to pass RCV crashed and burned. :(

They know exactly what they're doing. They're plundering the people, ending democracy, and establishing a full-on theocracy.

Of course, there is the distinct possibility that the rallies were happening before the election. The billionaire owned media just didn't choose to show it until now.

Why is it unhealthy to be in touch with reality? If you like tilting at windmills, then be my guest. I prefer to be very sober about what is going on and what it's going to take to have actual change. Talking about whether Bernie could have won is as useful as talking about Star Trek vs. Star Wars. (Note: I think Bernie would have been an awesome president which is why I voted for him and campaigned for him.)

Wonderful timing! Did you ever consider doing this a week or two ago?

The Democratic party needs to cease to exist...

Flipping the board doesn't change the result and it doesn't restart the game.

And you're leaving out so much (just like I will)... While all of this is going on, Nixon jumps in bed with Kaiser Permanente to convert all health-care into a for-profit enterprise. All of the unions are demonized and bastardized. Now you have the majority of the people in the US vulnerable and afraid where they can be completely controlled. Simultaneously, you blame everything that is happening on public education so that you have generation after generation of stupid people who are even easier to scare and manipulate and who will no longer believe the actual truth-tellers.

It's realism, not nihilism. Bernie never had a chance of winning because he was never, ever going to be put into a position where that was an option. Spending time on who is a better candidate makes no difference as long as 'the people' continue to vote against their own best interests. The oligarchy controls it all at this point.

Spending time on "Bernie would have won" is just mental masturbation...
