2. I will vote for the Democratic nominee because Trump is so awful

I would enthusiastically support Warren meaning I'd also donate to her campaign during the general election. The rest of the candidates from the last debate I will vote for in the general election but I will strongly oppose Trump no matter what.

3. The Real Question Is Whether Bernie's Campaign Will Signal Supporters...

...with well known surrogates like Susan Sarandon, Nina Turner, Brihan Joy Gray and Cornell West either refusing to support the Democratic Nominee or even announcing their support for Third Party candidates. The standard Bernie line is to blame Democrats alone for Trump and to disavow their role in undermining support for Democrats:

So, while Bernie will go through the motions of campaigning for the primary winner, his campaign will *wink* to supporters to work to make sure Trump wins, perhaps by even actively re-tweeting and agreeing with Trump's talking points:

7. I can only worry about myself

I voted for Clinton in 2016 but not that it mattered since Trump carried the State.

I still respect Cornell West, Briahna Joy Gray, Nina Turner. I still remember when Susan Surandon was cancelled by the right wing because she spoke out against the Iraq War. I don't want to push these people away because we need their votes.

No matter what Cornell West does is up to him but it doesn't affect my vote. Either way I still respect his opinions.

Now there are people that won't vote for Bernie (I seen it expressed all over social media) because he his hated by small passionate minority (considering he has the highest net favorability of all the candidates)

8. The REAL question is whether all the Hillary supporters who refused to vote for Obama...

will vote for Bernie this time around when he wins the Democratic nomination. (The OP's question has been asked and answered numerous times.)

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

11. Unlike Bernie's Campaign, They Won't Be Pushing a Third Party

That is the big difference. Even Bernie wins, and they say vote Democrat, then Bernie comes out ahead.

However, Bernie could sabotage that support by announcing after securing the nomination that he really is an independent, which is what he does in Vermont for the Senate race. He runs in the Democratic primary, then declines the nomination after winning it and lists himself as an independent.

If he does that, then that will put people who pledged to support the Democratic nominee in a quandry.

16. That's a new creative way to bash Bernie; Bernie switches to Independent AFTER winnin the nomination

I hadn't seen that one before!!

Bernie WILL win the Democratic nomination and go on to serve as President Sanders (D).

17. Bashing Quoting Bernie's Campaign?

This is one of the many things that concerns me about Bernie, and it how his supporters act like Trump supporters when confronted with facts. They either yell fake news, refer to some favorable poll, but not confront the fact or their own candidate's position.

That's the case here. Bernie's top campaign staff and surrogates could once again.signal to supporters to go elsewhere. The fact that Bernie hired this creates a trust issue. Is he serious about his pledge?

18. LMFAO!! YOU talk about Bernie switching to Independent AFTER he wins the nomination...

a novel Bernie bashing... I commended you for that... and, then, when challenged, you conveniently change the subject to something I never brought up, as if you were justified in saying that. Too funny!!

Okay, no no problem... feel free to bring up other strawmen arguments or converse with someone else... I'm done... good luck to your candidate. .. byyyyye!!!!

10. I appreciate your comments.

I voted for Clinton here in California.

I am appreciative of many of those on the left, including those outside the Democratic Party, who have taken on various fights, including against war.
