If you give me either Hillary or Martin as our nominee, I'm going to vote for the one that we've chosen as well.
Whomever it is, I'm a guaranteed vote to put THAT Democrat into the White House. I'm openminded like that.
No one has to convince me that any one of our candidates has flaws. I'm willing to overlook them, simply because, in order to win the White House, they're going to need everyone's vote. All of our candidates have favorable qualities as well, otherwise Democratic voters wouldn't support them.
When I vote for our nominee, I'll do it without having to hold my nose and without feeling as if I was being forced against my will. I'll be voting for that Democrat, because it's my choice to do it, and not because I'm being oversold or undersold on one person or the other by whatever group of supporters and their displays of over-enthusiasm. I'm unabashedly partisan
Because I think that winning isn't just the only thing, it's every single fucking thing.
I don't have to agree with everything single minutiae that THAT darn nominee stands for, because I'm going to give them enough credit simply because they're our Democratic nominee. I don't have to convinced that everyone is joining on whatever candidate's bandwagon
After all, once they become the nominee, it'll become plainly obvious to all that their bandwagon was the right one to jump on.
Whomever your guy or gal is, you can count on my vote when he or she is our nominee.
Otherwise, I truly can't wait for the end of this entire primary process.

(8,544 posts)I don't think much of the folks who were too "pure" to vote for Pat Brown over Ronald Reagan or Al Gore over Nader.
Too childish and self-destructive for my tastes.
