We need to overcome the thinking expressed in this article.
We need the youth to get off their asses and vote!


Why Sanders Will Not be the Democratic Nominee, No Matter What Happens in the Primaries

If you think Bernie Sanders will be the Democratic nominee for President in 2016, you’re out of your mind.

There is no way the Democratic Party will allow that to happen, for two main reasons.

First, this is Hillary’s turn to be the nominee. And although that’s pretty distasteful for many of Bernie’ supporters, it’s the truth and has been decided by people who actually matter in the party’s hierarchy (read: not you).

Second, it is simply impossible that a neoliberal, right-wing political party like the Democrats in a country with a nominally right-leaning electorate will allow their standard bearer to be a self-described socialist.

1. Since when did we take turns to be president? This is not third grade and we are not playing

King of The Hill.

Dear You,
Your day is coming and there will be lamentations and gnashing of teeth.
Sincerely,
Not You.

3. It's Hillary's turn because it's the truth,

or so goes the "argument."

I win all my arguments that way. "Yeah? Well, it's the truth!"

6. Since

The only argument that can be made for why Clinton is the best candidate is because its her turn. When the enthusiasm or issues are not on your side, then you revert to Its my turn/more electable/First woman president.

2. more than just the youth

half of the country that is eligible to vote does NOT vote

we can win back the house and senate,along with the presidency if bernie can tap that into that sleeping giant

when turn out is high dems win...it is that simple

4. it would be absoletle disaster if it happens

imagine bernie winning more primarys and DNC awards delegates to Clinton or superdelegates override the primary vote.

what makes them think bernie supporters will vote for clinton?

many of us already think DNC rigged the game for this sceniro to happen would be worse than 1968 and 2000 combined.

7. More action from the circular firing squad and Counterpunch

8. What a load...

It's that same old, tired Entrenched Establishment bullshit that we are hearing from the 1980's bunch that was affiliated with the Willie Administration...over it.

Her turn? That's crap.
