The fact is, if Bernie is the nominee, he can only win if every person who voted for another Democrat gets behind him. Same with Biden, Harris and Warren. They're all the same in that regard. If you are not in it to beat Trump, NO MATTER WHAT, then, well, fuck you.

I still haven't figured out how Bernie thinks he can win, since the millions of Hillary supporters last time have half a dozen great alternatives to choose from. And he did nothing to endear himself last time.

Don't worry, I'll vote for Bernie if he's the nominee. But he won't be.

for most of them, was voter suppression. After Obama was reelected, the Supreme Court (in 2013) dismantled the 1965 voting rights act, which resulted in the suppression of millions of votes due to new voter ID requirements, purging of voter lists, and reduced voting days and hours.

the lesson was learned. No matter what some folks think, we have a two party system. Voting 3rd party or not at all only helps the candidate you really don't want. I sure hope folks have suffered enough to work to elect the Democratic Party candidate.

on other forums come here. Those are effectively DU satellites which are energized by the hostility toward DU that is a major reason for their existence. Members there watch and report spitefully about DU, and some post here so they can brag about that.

But that 8% by Sanders' name is an indicator -- it includes many who absolutely will vote for our nominee and say so. The rest are the ones we shouldn't pretend aren't here but be aware of as we read posts.

Thu Aug 15, 2019, 09:48 AM

I got chastised for saying "sleepy Joe" on another thread, and I stand admonished for that. It did however, punctuate my fear or pitting someone who may be vulnerable to Trump's confabulatory bunco game in a debate could be disastrous.
Yet I've been asked the litmus test by supporters of other candidates numerous times: Do you plan on voting for the Dem candidate... to the point that I began adding a foregone conclusion of "Yes, absolutely yes, before anyone asks".
There will likely be some busy filtering of bots and trolls by moderators as the election time comes near. For the most part I agree, there's very few of anyone motivated enough to be active on DU to either sit out an election, write in a hopeless candidate "protest vote" or, for some evil vindictiveness, vote for the GOP criminals.
