(13,305 posts)No, I'm not a Bernie Bro.
No, I don't like Clinton
Yes, I'll vote for whoever is the Democratic nominee.
Like it or not, I'm sure Clinton will be that nominee.
But by any objective standard, 2 parties nominating candidates who a majority of the country view unfavorably is unprecedented and a total disaster.
The DNC and any Dem super pacs better get their asses in gear and start attacking trump in every way possible. And stop worrying about what the DC punditry says or thinks. Call Trump out on every single shitty thing he's ever said, regardless of whether Morning Joe or Chuck Todd or whoever else calls you "unfair" or whatever else.

(13,305 posts)The stakes have mostly been inter-party and somewhat abstract. Now going into an actual election with these 2 actual candidates (as I said, at this point I don't see how Hillary doesn't win the nom, whether I like it or not).

(375 posts)I feel no need to respect those so-called "progressives" who feel no obligation to be of any kind of use to the causes they supposedly support. I'm not saying applies to all of the Bernie supporters, but it does seem to apply to a lot of them.

(319 posts)She's weak. And the longer she campaigns the more that weakness is exposed

(17,064 posts)She can't exactly go into hibernation. If she can't handle a primary campaign against Sanders, she's not going to handle a GE campaign against Trump. It's a mistake to nominate a weak candidate who only goes down in polls the more exposure she gets.

(45,319 posts)to show it off to the cameras. But she can't because the nomination is not yet hers. The math says 'no nominee yet'. She does not have the required delegates as yet. This week she lost Oregon's closed Democratic primary by a very large margin, double digits.
