They mocked us, they made fun of us”: Bernie Sanders surrogates recall meeting with smug Hillary Clinton staffers

The retrospectives on how not to run a campaign keep coming. Early Tuesday morning, The Daily Beast published an interview with a couple of former Bernie Sanders surrogates who extended an olive branch to Hillary Clinton’s staff after the primary and were met with, at best, closed ears and, at worst, mockery.

Despite “sounding the alarm for months,” Nomiki Konst, a progressive activist who served on the 2016 DNC platform committee, said the Clinton campaign “fucking ignored us” in key battleground states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin — where President-elect Trump ultimately thrived: “We kept saying to each other like, ‘What the fuck, why are they just blowing us off? They need these voters more than anybody.'”

“Once we were at the convention, Bernie people were on the ground — we could feel it, people were pissed off, there with their pitchforks ready to fight,” she added. “But before the convention, after the platform committee meeting that I was on, Bernie surrogates were talking constantly, saying, ‘Oh my god, Hillary is going to lose if she doesn’t address TPP and [free] trade and [all these] other issues. We were looking at the polling and thought that if these people stay home, she’ll lose.”

This is erroneous. The brain trust here has decreed that the reason Clinton lost the election was because of Russian hacking. Go throw your tripe in the rubbish bin, Will Wiley.

Your evaluation is the truth would be extremely hilarious if we were not in about the shittiest place we have been in a long time, with a rich narcissist appointing people to tear our government and our society apart. I think you should listen to what Will Wiley is saying and THROW YOUR TRIPE IN THE RUBBISH BIN. Hillary and the remnants of the DLC lost their own fucking election and deserved to do so.

Ahh....yeah. Didn't think my sarcasm was that difficult to decipher.

Ahh....yeah. Didn't think my sarcasm was that difficult to decipher.

I have found that ideologues have no understanding of humor or sarcasm.

You really think akirk was a Trump voter?!

Well, I don't know! I suspect that he likes Trump more than HRC. But again, she lost. It's over. I don't understand the need to continuously hammer her.

The point is that now you have Trump, and ...maybe...just maybe...if people understand the mistakes that were made it might not happen again.

I have no idea who Akirk voted for. However, you clearly were a strong Trump supporter. I think that it's disingenuous for you to condemn the vote. You won. Are you have some regrets??

You are talking nonsense.
What I repeatedly said was that as I'm not American I cared less than you about domestic issues, but that from the things he said I preferred Trump from a foreign policy perspective.

You and others were so incensed by this, and so unable to stop read and comprehend that you consistently labelled me things like "strong Trump supporter".
Go back and re read.
I also said many times that of the major possibles I liked Sanders the most

This isn't the first time you've hilariously misidentified someone's political leanings. It seems to stem from the assumption that if someone doesnt like Clinton, they must like Trump, or at least they must like Trump more. But they could find both candidates loathesome.

To be fair, most of us are hammering the idiots who can't accept the election results. IF you want people to move on maybe you should direct your comments at them.

Well, Hillary lost. The other guy won. How much longer does the rubbing in continue?

Ah, the very effective "But Mom, the other guys are doing it" defense.
