Sanders supporter who voted for Trump because of disdain for the Democrats and party corruption. For example, super delegates flipping states for HRC. Donna Brazile's shenanigans, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Wall Street speeches, Clinton Foundation. Trump(and Bernie) created a consciousness/awakening in the country about the how the political system has been captured by the donor class and corporate interests. Hopefully, the Democratic party will purge itself and return to being the peoples party. If not we need a third party direct democracy organization driven by open source software and forums like HN which hold online debates and crowd source the decisions made by politicians.
- psychometry 10y ago> Sanders supporter who voted for Trump There's an undeniable indicator of an unsound mind right there. The correlation in policy goals between Sanders and Clinton was probably about 0.8, but you went with the guy at 0.1. The only noticeable commonality between Sanders and Trump is that they're both white males, which I suspect is a significant reason for your absurd trajectory of political preference (whether you'll admit that to yourself or not).
- bubbleRefuge 10y agowhats the correlation between any policy goal during a campaign and what actually happens? Insiders from both political parties didn't want Trump and didn't want Bernie. Trump has kind of upended both political parties. A good thing.
