It is hard for me to talk to someone who will sit out the election, like the way they probably did in 2010, just because they didn't get what they wanted.

I had hoped this selfish and NOT AT ALL liberal attitude was rare and limited to just a few and that Democratic Underground was not indicative of the population as a whole, but I was wrong.

It is almost as if they are using blackmail, vote for Bernie or we will make sure Trump is president.

Oh, I am a Bernie voter, by the way. But I will do what Bernie will do. We all know what that is.
