2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Come on, people. We're Democrats. [View all]zalinda
(5,621 posts)37. But you cannot depend on Democrats
to elect a President, you must have Independents as well. Independents are notorious for swaying elections, like Reagan or Bush (I'd have a beer with him). Trying this loyalty vote crap over and over is getting old. Let's see, this OP has come up at least 3 or 4 times a week, maybe more, for 6 months now. When will Hillary supporters give it a rest? She is unlikable and untrustworthy. If she goes up against Trump, she loses, period. The low information voters will vote for the TV star before they will vote for Hillary.
If the Democratic party wants loyalty votes they should try to put up candidates that we would want to be loyal to. Hillary is not one of them.

There are a lot of people on this site who loudly proclaim they aren't Democrats, as is their right.

Because Bernie is not just pretending to be a Progressive. Hillary shamelessly IS.

You may, and you may not. Last time I checked, this site wasn't called Hillary Underground.

Yes you are a Democrat, but you can vote Democratically or for a Democrat.

Really? Calling for party unity, party loyalty, aren't loyalty oaths?

Nope, that's just encouraging people to vote for a Democrat. No loyalty oath required or expected.

Are you suggesting that people should be ashamed to not be a member of your party?

A plea for unity is not a loyalty post. And the name of the site is DEMOCRATICUnderground.

I agree. But vowing to support the party over one individual can get you banned
