They can be real progressives/liberals and vote for the democratic candidate...or they can vote Trump and pound sand, I could care less.

I'll just be glad when the day comes that all the fake democrats are finally run off this board and the TOS is in effect again.

I did not vote for either Clinton or Obama in the '08 primary. I didn't need to be cajoled, placated or begged to vote for Obama in the general.

"I refuse to vote for Hillary" posts I wish they would give them the answer they deserve,which would be to ignore them. Internet temper tantrums are childish and annoying.

I still wasn't all that OK with him, but I knew he was the best chance we had to move this country forward. If McCain and his lackeys had won the WH we would not have had:

Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan
Marriage Equality
Affordable Care Act
Osama Bin Laden dead.
Most of our troops home from the mid east
Unemployment rate of 5%
US-Cuba relations eased
14 Million new jobs

Is everything rosy and perfect? Absolutely not, but we are moving in the right direction and we have to keep moving forward.

Just imagine for one minute what 8 years of a Republican administration would have been like. Now imagine what it could be like if we do not elect Hillary Clinton to the Presidency,

Which is about as realistic as claiming Planned Parenthood is part of the establishment.

They also routinely "forget" that Bill Clinton nominated RBG.

Most of Sanders' supporters will anyway. The ones who demand to be begged were never going to in the first place.

No one begged me to vote for PBO in 2008 either. My candidate withdrew, and I voted for the DEMOCRAT, as I always do. Turns out it was a good vote, as he's really done an outstanding job DESPITE record obstructionism.

on the day of the KY primary. He was voting for Sanders but made a plea to Sanders to stop being so divisive, stating that he (the young man) had already accepted that he would be not only voting for Hillary in the fall, but he would be doing so with enthusiasm and happiness.
