Nothing matters but to elect Bernie.
Screw down ticket Dems.
Some of Bernie's votes could be repubs wanting him in the general so they can defeat him. Still we would be more prepared for the general id he would have stayed out.
They think they have a revolution. The real test as to whether they are serious is not if Sanders is elected but rather what they do when he loses.

(1,545 posts)That he will get congress to pass legislation enacting his sketchy plans. And yet, while Clinton has raised tens of millions of dollars to help elect down ticket Democrats, Bernie has not shared one thin dime out of his record fundraising to try to elect a more favorable Congress.

BSers themselves are mostly uninformed single issue voters. They don't bother understanding the primary process or voting restrictions in their states and don't have a clue who the other candidates are.
Sad state of citizenship - misinformation or uninformed.

(22,756 posts)I like Bernie and he has been a great Mayor/Representative/Senator for Vermont... it is his supporters that concern me...
I love Bernie's ideals but I don't believe that many of his followers (not to say that some don't) understand that Revolution takes long, difficult, commitment and strategy that includes working just as hard to get like minded people into lesser offices... AND not giving up at the first sign not everything is going their way (much like many Obama supporters did 6 years ago)
I trust that Hillary will be the best President (of all running right now) we can have right now... I have always called myself a 'socialist', vote Democratic and do all that I can, to bring about positive change... merely electing one man will not a revolution make... it takes the power of great numbers of people working together and right now Bernie supporters are not proving themselves to be understanding of that fact

And WI will be stuck with a horrible judge on the court for 10 years.
