I followed Bernie ' s lead , as a Bernie or buster , and voted for her because she most aligned with my views , and any true Bernie or buster was in it for the cause of advancement , even if it meant acquiescing the presidency , she wouldn ' t have vetoed progressive policies . Her campaign shunning us fucked her over in Michigan , and Wisconsin very heavily . It really felt like the elite putting their boot to our necks . I don ' t blame anyone who felt slighted or ignored for not voting for her . I really don ' t , because she was a supremely flawed candidate who rigged the system through pay for play deals in 2008 when she conceded to Obama , and got Kaine to step down for DWS as DNC chair . In essence what I ' m trying to get at is instead of appealing to us and trying to accept us into the fold , we were shunned for voicing our concerns and told we weren ' t needed . That ' s what truly lost her this election .
