This obsession with party loyalty concerns me SO much.
Like, it IS part of democracy to lay out several options during a PRESIDENTIAL election, people should be able to choose from a variety of candidates, liberals don't owe Obama any vote just because he'd been president for 4 years, it would have been/should have been OK if someone challenged him in 2012, it's just fine, it's part of democracy, it should not be a big deal. Obama was a great president and Bernie acknowledges that and mentions it all the time, suggesting to have someone challenge him 2012 is no big deal, it's very overrated.
