Progressives are a distinct minority of the voting public. You can't win with only the left.
Quote:A "spoiler to Clinton"? What are you even talking about? They ran against each other in the PRIMARY, and Clinton won the primary, and LOST THE ELECTION!Fairly early in the primary season in '16, it was obvious that Hillary was definitely going to win; Bernie could not catch her. Despite this, he insisted on not withdrawing and going all the way to the convention, boosting anti-Hillary feelings among many. Most Bernie supporters did end up voting for Hillary, but by doing some part to help hurt Hillary (by encouraging Bernie supporters to stick with him and not support Hillary even though it was over) Russia surely hoped to hurt her in the general election.
