He would be the only Republican I'd ever vote for.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_K._Javits

Jacob Koppel "Jake" Javits (May 18, 1904 – March 7, 1986) was a Republican Party politician who served as a United States Senator from New York from 1957 to 1981. He was one of the most liberal of liberal Republicans serving in Congress in the 20th Century.[1] He was originally allied with Governor Nelson Rockefeller, and fellow Senators Irving Ives and Kenneth Keating. He voted with Democrats more often than with Republicans. He was regarded as the most far to the left of all Republicans in the Senate. No Republican in the Senate ever had a lower rating from the American Conservative Union. His highest rating was 11% in 1983, his lowest were 5 years of 0.

OP is trying to suggest that folks who support either Bernie or Warren should support HRC if she's the nominee simply because they would probably vote for HRC. It's simply another 'Y'all need to vote for Hillary' posting.

...and vote for Republicans is extremely divisive.

I was here in 2004 and 2008. I remember the divisiveness well.

Since he's a Democratic Socialist. Last time around that was Stewart Alexander. Dunno if they'll run him again this next time yet.

The corporate MO: Try to get people fighting over the shiny horse race while avoiding at all costs discussion of the actual policy positions held by the candidates.

There are six or eight OP's like this every day, repeating the Third Way talking points. This is now what passes for political discourse in a pseudo-democracy with a well-funded propaganda machine.

It is the sheeple who need someone to tell them how and who they should vote for, IMHO.

Assuming, of course, that she is the nominee. Anyone who expects otherwise is not paying attention.
