(39,961 posts)had the same damn question repeatedly asked on this forum. I'm sick of it, too.

(36,872 posts)Yes, there are a few who will not vote for the democratic nominee. But in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter. The vast majority of us will.
Edit: said something a wee bit nasty directed at Clinton supporters and deleted it.

(39,961 posts)I think it was a valid example of what they are pushing on everyone else that may not be enthusiastic Hillary supporters.
It implies that anyone who doesn't support Hillary in the primary isn't a Democrat, and that's horse manure.

(36,872 posts)I can understand where you are coming from... if one doesn't fall lockstep, then one isn't a good dem. I get it.

(47,209 posts)I thought that was pretty obvious, no?
Aerows
(39,961 posts)but the same question keeps getting asked over and over again. Will you support the nominee?
Yes, I will. But we keep having folks ask that question, so I figured I'd ask it a different way to illustrate how ridiculous it sounds.

(10,237 posts)a second choice is better than no choice unless the choices are just illusions in which case life sucks and then we die .
Aerows
(39,961 posts)The insinuation is that if people don't agree with the choice of Hillary as the nominee, they aren't "real" Democrats.
It's insulting. That is what has gotten my dander up.

The latter description does, however, apply to the entire GOP!
So, I know I will vote....for any D ...because on most basic issues, we're a lot better on most things
than the GOP chooses to be at this time...
They are ABUSERS and the entire party has been Duggered....they are repulsive...
Aerows
(39,961 posts)You hit the nail on the head, Gloria.
