Maybe we can have a twitter campaign #suspend&support

You know what REALLY FUCKING PISSES ME OFF? Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #7

Always negative like The Hill, where the original article came from? EndGOPPropaganda Aug 2019 #12

I'll vote for the Democrat and work for him / her as well, most likely in a swing state. lapucelle Aug 2019 #20

Liz is awesome, isnt she! I would rather spend my time talking about how Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #22

I find it sad mcar Aug 2019 #42

I agree Gothmog Aug 2019 #43

I agree. I have no tolerance for voting green nonsense tymorial Aug 2019 #6

until we have ranked choice voting, voting 3rd party is a mistake for sure questionseverything Aug 2019 #30

A vote for Stein was a vote for trump Gothmog Aug 2019 #44

because i believe in ballot access, i support ranked choice voting questionseverything Aug 2019 #51

Ranked choice was not used in last presidential election Gothmog Aug 2019 #52

i know ranked choice voting was not available,nor will it be soon(probably) questionseverything Aug 2019 #65

Well then it's a good thing no one has done that melman Aug 2019 #8

Agree. brer cat Aug 2019 #9

Sorry, I have 1 that I will not commit to support. Amimnoch Aug 2019 #10

Just remember, whoever that is, Trump is far, far worse. Chemisse Aug 2019 #34

we can't have a re-run of 2016. DEMS NEED TO WIN IN ALL OF OUR ELECTIONS. Nationwide !! trueblue2007 Aug 2019 #17

This OP is a fine effort at creating drama where there is none. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #18

That would be great, that there is NO ISSUE at all. lets bookmark this thread and revisit Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #20

Deal. And I will apologize if there is drama. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #23

I bet all OTHER candidates statistically nonviable concede long before that Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #24

Probably. But it will have more to do with money than votes. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #26

Agreed 100% JoeOtterbein Aug 2019 #28

I thought he implied the other day that he might not be willing to concede Chemisse Aug 2019 #35

I don't think so. There was an article in June that was recently popped in this forum. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #39

Yep. Like my dad used to say... "give it a rest" Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #40

No NYMinute Aug 2019 #54

I hear you brother, and I'm with you all the way. George II Aug 2019 #19

Hell,I say they should concede even before the convention if not doing so causes division Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #25

Most will do that, and hopefully when it's obvious that there's no way the remainders but one.... George II Aug 2019 #27

Right, so it should be obvious what one or two candidates are still viable PRIOR to the Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #29

I'm just a bit worried about Dems who support a loser before the convention, who does not support... JoeOtterbein Aug 2019 #31

Bernie doesn't seem to be holding onto the number 2 spot. Chemisse Aug 2019 #36

While Bernie is my 2nd to last choice I would of course support him over a Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #48

Sad that some dwell on single words instead of the thought and emotion behind this excellent OP. George II Aug 2019 #32

Predictable though, funny how some folks NEVER say ANYTHING positive about Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #49

Their guilty conscience becomes transparent with such tactics NYMinute Aug 2019 #55

Absolutely. SergeStorms Aug 2019 #33

As soon as the nomination is won, the nominee should go right into general election mode. betsuni Aug 2019 #37

As should the roughly 20 other candidates were unsuccessful. Most of them will have.... George II Aug 2019 #50

No matter who it is, and for CANDIDATES the RESPONSIBLE thing to do is once it is Eliot Rosewater Aug 2019 #58

I think there will be lots more pressure for it mcar Aug 2019 #59
