(15,162 posts)I supported Bernie just as hard as you did, and love him just as much. But you have to admit this election is different.
If the Repubs were running somebody like Ryan or Romney, as odious as those guys are, the world wouldn't fall apart if they got elected. But Trump?
NO.
NO.
NO!
We cannot let Trump anywhere near the White House, because life as we know it might REALLY fall apart of he gets hold of the nuclear football. Look what's going in with all the racism and threats to start 'registering' people? And a fucking wall???
You want that?
For now, we need to get behind Clinton, and then hold her feet to the fire for stuff we want. Get some Social Democrats in the local Dem political apparatus. Just like the crazy right did starting back in 82. And look what they achieved. They've stopped the government from doing anything pretty much. It's up to us to inject some sanity.
But, if Trump gets elected because we don't get behind Clinton, we've basically shot ourselves in the foot. That's why I'm respectfully suggesting things like this poll might be an unnecessary poke at the Dem party establishment, and right now we need to be supporting them even if they are a bit too far right for our tastes.
