In reply to the discussion: Why would any liberal support Hillary over Bernie? [View all]kjones
(1,053 posts)those being that Hillary supporters are all corporatists, aren't democrats,
are some kind of sell outs, whatever other labels and insults you need to
throw in there.
In any event, I see a ton of Hillary supporters (online and in person) who
explicitly state that the would vote for Bernie if he got the nomination.
Now, I didn't want to say anything because I'm usually not a turnabout
kind of guy, but the only people I can recall who have proclaimed they would
"stay home" or some such were Bernie supporters.
It's almost like some Bernie supporters are projecting, assuming that Hillary
supporters don't like Bernie at all. I'm sure some people don't, but overall,
that's just not true. The animosity seems to go mostly one way (well, until
someone smears someone as a corporatist sell out. Still waiting for "Shillary"
signs).
