I think it does matter, even in a Republican state. I am in a purple state. I voted for Bernie and then for Hillary. I took Bernie's advise and voted for what was best for the country. Even though your state may not go in the right direction, you send a message to the Dem party and to the country as a whole about your progressive priorities. If all those who voted against Hillary, would have supported her in the end, Bernie would be working in the administration in some capacity right now, instead of having the Orange Nazi. We are losing the Federal courts and the Supreme Court is next. Even if Bernie were to run and win in the next election, the country may have been lost. He will be powerless if we don't have the courts.

I also think as intelligent human being, it is OK to admit when we made a mistake or were duped. Hillary is a politician, and she does not represent all of my values, but she is not a criminal as Russia and the Orange Nazi campaign told us. Think of our status in the world and how life would be if Hillary was president and Bernie was working in her administration. When it came to the election, Hillary was not the lesser of two evils, she was the right choice, especially compared to a mentally ill criminal. And yes, Orange Nazi Trump is a criminal, although not convicted, not yet.

I don't think either of them should run again- we need fresher blood. I disagree that she's super unpopular when she won the popular vote by 3 mill, and those of us who have followed her since the 90s know how much she's accomplished and been through. She's opened doors for women that were once tightly locked, and I think she'd rather spend time w/her grandbabies now, so I don't see her running again.
