The Berners are now threatening to write in BS if he can't have the nomination

[liberal N proud]

I have seen a few FB posts eluding to such.

1. Surprised?

I'm not.

Very few bros are actually democrats. Many of them will be voting for Trump, I have no doubt to "bring the revolution" like Bernie's 1%er Hollywood surrogate said.

[liberal N proud]

2. Not really

[anotherproletariat]

18. Exactly. They are very similar to Trumpites in that they are mad at the system, and don't

have enough creativity to see any other way to elicit change then to knock everything down and start over again.

[Walk away]

3. What are they going to write? G-O-D?

They really are a pathetic group.

[Kaleva]

4. Hard core Dean supporters threatened to do that back in 2004

A few may have actually done so but not enough for anyone to even notice. There were 37,240 miscellaneous write in votes for president nationwide that year and how many of those were for Dean is unknown to me.

5. We'll do it without them!

Most independents are either consistently Republican or Democrat.

The Bernie or Bust contingent is probably part of that little slice we don't need to win!

16. When dump or crudz is the nominee...

that slice of “LEAN GOP” is going to be a violet or magenta slice (depending on your slant) moved to the left.

[yallerdawg]

17. Shoot, that red GOP slice will get smaller!

Unless 'we' nominate a socialist - then all bets are off!

[LiberalFighter]

22. Either that or they don't vote.

I'm trusting the latter.

[oasis]

33. Love those figures.

[72DejaVu]

6. Who cares?

They never voted for Democrats before, and we won a majority in 5 of the last 6 Presidential elections.

7. I say we

have a fund raiser and supply them with pens.............

[dlwickham]

19. crayons would be better for them

if they're going to act like children, we should treat them as such

[LiberalFighter]

24. Chisels

[sharp_stick]

8. Most of them have never been Democrats

they have no idea how the system works and now they're about to crawl back to their every four year bitching posts and either write in someone or go for Jill Stein again.

It's a cycle, they're like fucking cicadas only more annoying and with less protein.

12. lol. nt

21. K&R

9. Good for them.. we'll win our Democracy without them.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

10. I'm convinced

That a broad swath of online hecklers for Sanders are displaced Ron/Rand Paul supporters who came for the legalize pot issue and stayed for the free college...

Little sign that they are actual dems... surprisingly vocal about their pro-gun stance and their distain for President Obama.

[beachbum bob]

11. sour grapes...some will and most won't....

in the end, those who value a democrat over any conservative will support our nominee

[DesertFlower]

13. some will say hillary is not

a democrat. i have words for them that i will not post here.

[dlwickham]

20. do those word include

eat s**t and die and f**k off

[DesertFlower]

23. i wouldn't go that far. maybe the second part.

[dlwickham]

25. okay

[Cary]

14. Whiners

Good riddance.

[BlueMTexpat]

15. Let them ... but

if any of those are also DUers, please let them forever stay FAR FROM DU afterwards.

Life is so much more pleasant without them and their real home is not here.

[madamesilverspurs]

26. In that case . . .

[Princess Turandot]

27. The election is almost 3 1/2 months after the convention...

Without any ongoing reinforcement, my guess is that a lot of these types will simply lose interest. Or forget how to spell his name.

[sarae]

32. I agree...

...especially since young people are notorious for being fickle about their causes. And this is precisely the reason I always find BS's claim that millions of young people will stand outside the White House windows so ridiculous. Maybe they'll do it once, but the second something else engages their interest, it'll be curtains for Bernie. The idea that you would rely on this as an agent of change seems insane to me.

[book_worm]

28. A few crybabies on DU might, but most Bernie fans will vote

for HRC--I have no doubt.

[Thinkingabout]

29. He has to win the nomination, the DNC nominee is not controlled by Sanders oligarchy.

It is not about the person with the lesser number of delegates becoming the nominee.

[stopbush]

30. Oh, let them exercise their right to vote for who they will.

I encourage all the BSers to get out there and vote on election day, Wednesday, Nov 9, 2016.

[Treant]

31. I don't do tantrums.

My cousin has them regularly (he's 35) since he's always been able to get what he wants using them. Since my majority, when I no longer had to listen to his parents, I've never bothered to respond and flatly told him (and his 'rents when they try to get me to do stuff for him) to approach me as a responsible, competent human being you want something from.

It hasn't fostered great relations between my family and theirs--and you know what? I'm happier that way.

The same argument applies here.

[Lil Missy]

34. Oh, fuck 'em. n/t

[NurseJackie]

35. Posts like that remind me of this ...
