I think that's going to be my standard answer for most of what the Sanders people say from now on

you had a few Hillary supporters, or so they said, who said they would never support Obama

I'm willing to bet that the majority of Bernie supporters on here will not vote for Hillary but will vote Green or another third party

I am not a big Hillary fan,I will vote for Sanders in any primary I vote in..BUT if Hillary is the Dem nominee I will back her and vote for her....

Look at many of the histories of the people. A lot of them have more than a thousand posts, but they are only active during the primary seasons. They come here only to disrupt.

I don't think Bernie would be happy with many of his so-called supporters here.

I think I posted in that thread, I did not see that claim. Stupid, all this is stupid.

This is getting ridiculous. I'll support the nominee no matter who it is. People on both sides of this issue are really ticking me off. I'm pulling for Bernie, but will vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. I am a Democrat.

Same group, same despicable hate, without knowing what they're talking about. Just repeating the same old debunked lies.
Maybe they'll all leave when Hillary is swon in as Madam President.

I'm a third-geneation straight-ticket Democrat. The only reason I stopped ticking the single box is that the Texas Democratic Party was in.political ICU for years, and there were down ticket races with no Democratic candidate. I've been voting Libertarian or Green for those slots not because I wouldn't vote for a Dem but to actively deny a vote to the batsht crazy Texas R's.

There's no "there" there.

But every time he does it, the attacks will look sillier. I think he's hit the point of diminishing returns already.

They tend to be wrong most of the time.

why are you posting in this group?

particularly his desire to see us more like Scandinavian countries (although I would prefer a lot more diversity).

But, I don't think he can win the general election. In the highly unlikely event he did, he would be thwarted by Congress at every turn and get us nowhere. On the other hand, Clinton is highly electable and can accomplish a lot.

who I like a lot by the way, that I would like a Scandinavian model too.
One has to be reasonable. Our country is not there yet, and not in the near future either.
For some reason pragmatism and realism is frowned on around here.

Liberal thought always wins in the end, we are just discussing ( fighting) about how fast it will happen.

is that Sanders submits some terrific legislation but can't get it passed. Hillary, on the other hand, knows how and when to cajole, make a horse trade or jawbone the opposition into submission. That's how LBJ got the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act passed. It works.

Thank you

Senator Sanders (I-VT) is the Democratic Party nominee for president, I would vote for him. Yes, I would vote for a DINO like Sanders and would never consider supporting or even contemplating a vote for a Republican for president. I do not believe 'anyone but' applies to Sanders, the way it seems to apply to our Hillary.

Fortunately, no worries! Most Democrats remain committed to winning in 2016!

I was not able to locate it. If you feel comfortable posting the link or PMING me I would appreciate it. I know many, many good Sanders supporters but I have to think that some of these people are trolling to cause just this kind of problem.

I just saw two people say they would write in Sanders or vote Green if HRC got the nom. I would be as likely to go play in traffic as vote GOP.

It explains why some are not big on party loyalty.

It may not be as easy as they think. In Texas, we used to be able to write in anyone. On a couple occasions, where there was no opposition to a local crook, I wrote in one of my cats. Now, there's not even a write in spot on the ballot unless a candidate has declared him/herself a write-in candidate and has submitted the required number of supporters' signatures and other.paperwork to the election officials.

Sanders has said he won't be a spoiler, and I believe him. There won't be any write-ins for him in Texas.

The Democratic nominee

The Republican nominee

A Third party candidate (please specify downthread)

I will not vote

Prefer not to respond

I want to vote~

I went searching for and finally found it!

in the general election.


I am undecided for the Primary.

Just remember that in the great scheme of things, what gets said on DU is basically of no consequence.

There are alleged Sanders supporters here whose only intent is to draw voters/supporters away from HRC. And their reasoning is obvious: Hillary is the front-runner and still polls well against all GOP contenders. Knocking down HER numbers is all that matters.

Are there honest Sanders supporters here? Absolutely. But by and large, they are NOT the ones bashing Hillary in order to make their candidate-of-choice seem more appealing.

As for the "won't vote for HRC if she's the nominee" folks, I guarantee you that a good number of them have never voted (D) in their lives, and wouldn't even if Bernie was the nominee.

Sad to say, a lot of posters here are easily led - and will claim not to vote (D), or not vote at all, because they want to align themselves with a certain outspoken clique.

Being an HRC supporter on DU is not "cool" - but in RL, it means you're with the majority of your fellow Party members.

... the RW trolls/actual Democrats divide that's showing itself on DU.

Think about it. If the GOP had a clear frontrunner who was beating all Dem contenders in polls/surveys, and I wanted to be disruptive on Republican sites, what would serve my purpose better than to try and convince posters there that their frontrunner can't win the general, and some much-admired (but unlikely to win) candidate should have their support instead?

In the unlikely event that Bernie started polling better than HRC in one-on-one polls against GOP contenders, you would see a lot of so-called Sanders supporters here suddenly posting about how Bernie isn't such a great idea after all.

Some are more obvious than others. But many are VERY obvious.

Next year the rules get stricter. Hopefully it exposes the gop moles here.

..when she uses feminism."

Good god, Hillary Rodham spoke on behalf of fairness & feminism since her colllege days.
40 effing years of fighting for equality & feminist issues in the US AND around the world. This remark here on DU is just a sample of the ignorance of those who throw out lies about her.
They are no different than the likes of Joni Ernst.
Truth is people that admonish Hillary on an issue like feminism, clearly don't know what she stands for.
Just borrow the RW lie to prop up their candidate.
What an embarrassingly ignorant thing to accuse HRC of.

If so, can one assume that most people posting here are.........Democrats? If so, can one assume that people who are Democrats generally vote for the...........Democratic person in an election?

Why all the silliness, no, make that lunacy, of claiming that if (insert your favorite candidates name here) is not the nominee, I will certainly vote for the GOP candidate?


Whoever is the Democratic nominee will have my vote. The nominee, whoever he/she is, may not be the perfect candidate in my eyes, but he/she will have my vote.

vote for Hillary the first time around. They were tired of the Republicans. But when it came down to the general, "White McCain" or "Ni#$$r Muslem Obama" guess who got their vote. Primaries and General in the conservative states (can't say South anymore) are 2 different things. I know the regular normal Democratic Party voter will vote for the party nominee. I am sure there will be a lot of people who will be for HRC in the Primary but may not vote D in the general. These people need to be found and talked to, to convince them that it is important who they vote for. Frankly I think Palin may have helped HRC in the south. They accepted a woman running for the office and that is a big step down here. Maybe in another 20 years or so, race won't make any difference, I hope the gender difference is over with.

flat out say they won't vote for Clinton if she's the nominee.

176. Why don't you embroider your concern for Hillary onto a throw pillow,

then she can place it on the sofa in the Oval Office once she's elected.

I support Hillary, yet in the end I vote straight D.
