You want Bernie's agenda passed even if Hillary gets the nom., go down ballot.

[PyaarRevolution]

Get angry and VOTE! Even if you don't vote for Hillary, vote for Alan Grayson and others, make sure we get real Liberals and grab a vetoproof majority. This way we can make sure Bernie's agenda gets passed DESPITE what the DNC wants.

[DanTex]

1. "Even if you don't vote for Hillary"

Why would any sane human even consider not voting D in the general election?

[NorthCarolina]

10. Perhaps those fervently against money influencing our politics

coupled with a candidate with a long history of bathing is such influence.

[DanTex]

11. Right, because Trump will take care of that...

[PyaarRevolution]

13. No one here.

Likes Trump.

[DanTex]

14. And yet some would facilitate his ascendancy to POTUS by voting third party.

Since the only possible effect that voting third party could have is to make a Trump presidency more likely, I'm not sure I agree with you.

[PyaarRevolution]

20. I repeat.

I'm talking exclusively to people who would not vote anyway.

[NorthCarolina]

15. Not endorsing Trump

just stating what we all know to be fact.

[DanTex]

17. Come November, there's a D and an R. It's a zero-sum game. Anti-D = Pro-R.

[NorthCarolina]

22. That's what the establishment always banks on, and could care less

at that point having already secured an establishment candidate for each side of the equation.

[DanTex]

23. You mean math?

[VulgarPoet]

2. Be careful, omae.

They lurk. You know this.

[PyaarRevolution]

7. The 3rd Way Dems?

I'm just saying that if they otherwise won't come because Hillary is the nom. wouldn't it at least be something for them to vote in the downballot? Better they come and vote Democrat somewhere than not at all. Would we rather see them stay home?

[VulgarPoet]

8. I meant this gives off the vaguest whiff of something they'd try to get you a temporary "break" for.

Hence my worry.

[PyaarRevolution]

9. I'll vote for Hillary if she gets the nom.

But if there are Dems. like Grayson down-ballot I'm voting for them. I'm trying to talk to those who may not even go to the voting booth if Hillary gets the nom. and the win(hopefully, see: electronic voter fraud).

[Human101948]

3. Lots of luck with that...as noted on DU, Hillary is funding the down tickets candidates...

and there are no Bernies or Alan Graysons allowed.

[VulgarPoet]

4. We can hope. And if they too prove beholden to money over principle, then we shed them.

Start finding Independents to fill the downticket.

[PyaarRevolution]

5. Then we make sure they don't win the primary.

So Hillary's 3rd Way Dems. get shut out and we crowdfund the Liberals.

[uppityperson]

6. Voting for congress is very important also

[brooklynite]

12. "Even if you don't vote for Hillary, vote for Alan Grayson"

...because to solve economic inequality you need a guy with a hedge fund in the Cayman Islands?

[PyaarRevolution]

16. Then vote Jamie Raskin, Tim Cannova, etc.

Oh and should I dismiss what "The Intercept" reports on because the man who is funding it is behind microloans in developing countries with Draconian terms?

[jwirr]

18. Totally agree. IF we can turn the Senate back to blue, the

states back to blue and move the House toward blue we are still working for the movement. Not to mention that we can also have a better SCOTUS. If Bernie or Hillary get in.

We have a already won a lot simply by joining together and getting Bernie's agenda on the table.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. I always vote.

[Autumn Colors]

21. If you're in a state where Working Families Party is active

vote on their line even though you'll probably see the candidate's name on two different lines. Although they are starting to run their own candidates now in local races, they mainly cross endorse candidates.

They are supporting BERNIE and his platform. If you vote for the candidate using the WFP line instead of the Dem line ... you'll send a message that this person got your vote BECAUSE of this endorsement and these policies are what you hope that candidate will attempt to accomplish in office.

NOTE TO DU: This is NOT promoting another party as nearly all of the candidates WFP cross endorses are Democrats.

[Retrograde]

24. IOW, Don't let the Tea Party show that they're more clever than us

The far right recognized that having control of Congress is just as if not more important than who's in the White House and got their True Believers out in droves in 2010 and 2014. I'm not thrilled by either Clinton or Sanders as the Democratic candidate for president, but unless I'm dead or in a coma I intend to vote in the upcoming primary and in November, as I have for all elections since I became eligible to vote.
