I'll support Hillary if she's the nominee. But it'll be real hard to give a damn beyond dread of GOP

[Armstead]

The only damn I'll really give is that ever-present dread of the GOP taking over. So I'll root for her to beat the GOP's nominated bully.

But beyond that? Screw it.

1. intention

I think that's the intention.

2. The effort the left libertarian third way baloney wagon is supporting Hillary seems to indicate

she is not going to be much better than another Republican with a Democratic name, like Capitulating Bill Clinton.

[Armstead]

5. It is disurbing to hear conservatism being passed off as "progressive" Democrat

[Todays_Illusion]

18. I don't trust that word, progressive, and ps haveyou been here long? Has it always been so

Libertarian? I signed in only a couple of years ago and was shocked that a site calling itself Democratic was so completely libertarian controlled, operating under the label, progressive.

19. Since 2002 (or 3)

It's always been a feisty place with competing in philosophy. It tends to get more heated up around primary and election time.

20. It's progressive if Hillary is for it.

(Shake my head) Alot of posters have no idea what a progressive is.

3. Supreme Court & Not Dismantling Obama's Legacy

those are my issues

4. I wish I could feel better about the possibility...

Of Hillary getting the nomination. I was a Clinton supporter back in the day- in fact, he was the first President I voted for and volunteered for. And Goddess knows I'd love to see our first female President. And she's certainly brilliant and accomplished. But I look at what's happening to our country and I genuinely despair at the idea of us continuing the status quo- and that's what we'll get with her. And her supporters are making it harder and harder every day to envision coming together once the primaries are over.

6. You must have a far stronger stomach than I do

Holding my nose while I vote, is no longer an option for me.

[Armstead]

7. Well 8 years of Trump, Bush, Carson or any of 'em is like Pepto Bismol

Clinton will be subtly awful. Any of the GOPers will be "in your face" abusive.

[99Forever]

12. I hear you.

But I also refuse to settle. That's what got us here.

[Armstead]

13. I hear you too

I'm 63, seen the "settling" strategy being trotted out every election for decades. This, alas, is just the latest iteration.

But also seen the GOP get worse and worse. In part I blame the Demoicrats for that becaue we have "settled" too often rather than actually taking it to them. But still in all, I guess I still have to choose awful over awfuller.

16. Republicans and corporate democrats continue to move the country further to the right,

despite the country's leftward lean.

[liberal_at_heart]

11. It's no longer an option for me either.

[randome]

8. I don't blame you for not feeling the Clinton charm.

I'd point out, though, that it isn't the end of the world and we all have lives to lead outside the political realm.

9. I remember that "lives to live" part every day

But I'm also one of those unfortunate people for whom public issues feel personal too. My own life could be peaches and cream, and the bigger picture will still bug me on a visceral level. Over the years I've learned to turn it off and on better, but...

(I'm guessing most DUers are the same way.)

[MuseRider]

10. Same here BUT

one exception that has me saying I will vote for her (although daily I say to myself no way) SCOTUS. As a woman I do trust her to not nominate someone who will further erode women's rights. I hope that trust is not misplaced, it is the one issue I actually do trust her with. I hope she will consider women in all issues but the interview with Warren about the bankruptcy bill stopped me short.

[Hepburn]

14. Ditto...

...and if Hillary gets it, we are gonna say "hello" to one of the Repukes as prez.

[Armstead]

15. Unless the GOP nominates a goofball you may be correct

People want change. For the non-partisans, if its a GOP status quo politician vs a Democratic status quo politician, I think the instinct for change will favor the GOP

[ctsnowman]

17. The only way

I won't vote for her is if the superdelegates go against the people's vote in the primary.
