In reply to the discussion: Why would any liberal support Hillary over Bernie? [View all]Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)Bernie has said he WON'T disparage Hilary. He understands what few of his supporters here seem to. If you disparage the other candidate, you don't win the support of their voters--nor of those on the fence who really, and I mean REALLY do NOT want to see democratic candidate trying to undermine each other or undermine each others' supporters.
Keep posting threads like this, keep arguing like this, and you just end up making Hiliary supporters double down and not reconsider their vote--you end up making them want to find things to dislike about your candidate. And you make undecided types like me turn away from Bernie not because of anything he has said or done, but becuase I really don't like what his supporters are doing.
Show respect for Hilary and her supporters, as Bernie wisely is, and there is every chance that they (and we undecided types) will show you the same and maybe reconsider their (our) view along the way.
