[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The civil war in the Republican party is Trump vs. never-Trump.

The civil war in the Democratic party is those who blame Sanders for Trump vs. those who blame Clinton for Trump.[/quote]

This is the Clintonite understanding. But Trump is actually a symptom, not the disease.

Sanders backers were largely of the mind that the country was in a serious mess long before Trump and that much of that mess was due to the Clintons and their cronies. Obama also deserves blame, for sure, but he came to prominence as a seeming outsider who actually opposed the Iraq war. He also handled his minority status in a much more constructive way than Clinton handled being the first woman nominee. Still, many Sanders backers see Obama as something of a disappointment who was much too concerned with preserving the status quo.

In a serious fight, sense of purpose matters enormously. Sanders backers are deeply concerned with the dire situation of many and are successfully reaching out to others who are concerned. Clintonites are a small group of people who've made a lot of money recently and are largely concerned with protecting their privileges. I'd be very doubtful of this ending well for the Clintonites.
