... and get behind Sanders now, then the bickering and infighting would stop.

Hmmm.

I like this idea.

And no Trump, too!

and that would be Bernie Sanders.

To do anything else at this point really is making a Trump presidency much more likely.

Some of us still want Hope and Change from the status quo and corporate owned.

This is the time to fight for what we want, not settle then battle for the lesser of two evils.

this is what Primaries look like.

Our candidates have been saints compared to the Rethugs.

Do you think our internet crap will have any effect on the election?

Just drop everything and back my candidate, John P. Wintergreen, for president, bury your own convictions and ideas, as none but Wintergreen's are valid, and drop support for anyone else, refuse to vote if Wintergreen is not nominated, and the world will be back in balance again within minutes after Wintergreen is sworn in.

And the Supreme Court WILL decide in favor of corn muffins!

If you mean the stuff you read hear, ignore it. Despite all the chest-thumping it has no bearing on how people will vote out in the real world.
