1: Sanders favors “breaking up the big banks.” Hillary Clinton opposes that.

2: Sanders has fought consistently against Obama’s mega-‘trade’ deals. Hillary consistently favored them.

3: Sanders favors working with Russia against jihadists in Syria. Hillary opposes that.

4: Sanders says jihadists are America’s top foe. Hillary says both jihadists and Russia are equally anti-American, equally dangerous to America. Hillary is simply a neoconservative; Sanders isn’t. Her having voted to invade Iraq was no mistake on her part; it was consistent with her entire international outlook, all of which is neoconservative, like invading Libya, Syria, etcetera. Bernie’s vote against invading Iraq was likewise consistent with his international outlook.

5: Sanders has been consistently opposed to fossil fuels. Hillary has aggressively supported them.

6: Sanders says that the system is rigged. Hillary says that it’s not.

7: Sanders says the system is rigged specifically against the poor. Hillary says the problem that keeps people poor is instead individual bigots — against Blacks, Hispanics, women, gays, etc. Not the system itself. She is proud to represent the system. She’s not against it. She’s for it.

8: Sanders’s political career has been financed by small-dollar donations. Hillary’s has been financed by mega-donations.

9: Sanders favors every possible means of reducing the influence big-money donations to politicians has over politics. Hillary opposes that idea.

10: Sanders favors socialized health insurance, like exists in the European nations that spend per-capita half what America does but have higher life-expectancy than America does. Hillary opposes that — she favors the existing profit-based system of health-care, and opposes the European system where basic healthcare is a right, no privilege (that’s based only on ability-to-pay).

"I have never voted Republican in my life..."

You're not voting Republican, you're voting for Trump.

Well, even in damage control mode concerning her revealed comments about Bernie supporters (at least the young ones), it is going to be a challenge to win them back big time.

...The reason for that support is his (Bernie's) record in public office...
...Trump has no record at all in public office...

And yet, you voted for obammy. Twice.

I have never voted Republican in my life, starting with my first vote in the 1960s.

I forgive you for that.

Well, while I gladly embrace him voting for Trump, Eric Zuesse is not only an idiot, he is apparently an old idiot since he started voting in the 60's and a rabid supporter of Sanders even before he ran for President.

As a play upon the famous words of Churchill, to be idealistic when young is normal, to have not recognized and accepted reality by your mid thirties to 40's is stupidity befitting of the village idiot.
