Will they be unrepentant like Nader supporters were.

[onehandle]

1. Already are. nt

[hrmjustin]

2. I have faith in Sanders supporters to unite around Hillary if she is the nominee.

There will be a few that won't but I have faith.

[HassleCat]

3. I am so glad to hear this.

We already have a scapegoat picked out for our loss in November. That's encouraging. Keep up the good work, DNC.

[KPN]

10. No kidding.

Must be nice to go through life being able to always rationalize: it's not my (our in this particular case) fault.

[Scootaloo]

12. I lovethat htey always bring up Nader like it's his fault

No mention EVER of the Bush effort to steal the election.

No mention EVER if the gross disenfranchisement of black voters in Florida by Republicans.

No mention EVER of the two hundred thousand registered Democrats who voted for Bush.

No mention EVER of Gore's shit campaign, where he tried to divorce himself from a wildly popular president, appeal to the right, and even saddled himself with a right-wing nutjob as VP.

Nope. it's all nader's fault for even running.

17. But Those Things Happened-So...

18. The Nader voters mention all those things

every time. Nothing but finger pointing. What they never say, knowing what ended up happening, is whether or not it was a good idea for all those people to vote for Nader.

[Scootaloo]

23. Funny thing for you to post a complaint about finger pointing while trying to point fingers

in a thread started by someone preemptively pointing fingers.

Twice as many Democrats voted for Bush, as anyone voted for Nader. Even with that, even with the Nader voters, Gore got the majority of votes in Florida. But the republicans stole it.

I wonder why pointing out the perfidy of the republican party is suddenly so very taboo!Q

25. First off you have to believe these special few actually are going to vote for HRC or Bernie.

I personally do not think so at all, I think they are just here to divide and nobody cares about their boring concern trolling anymore. How many years pass and they still pull the same stupid shit.

4. What happens when Hillary hands the government to the Banks..

[lumberjack_jeff]

6. +1 n/t

[MFM008]

27. really getting old

older than Sanders.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

28. BOOM

lol

[Scootaloo]

5. Is this hard to miss?

[Xipe Totec]

7. Way to unite the factions! Bravo!

[msongs]

8. I suspect the general sanders crowd is hardly like his crowd on Du nt

[TM99]

9. Repentance is a religious term.

I don't worship any politician or party.

If Clinton is such a piss poor candidate that she can not muster the support of voters in the GE to beat Ted Cruz, then the problem is with the party and the candidate. It is NOT with the fucking voters.

Got it?

[werknotgoin2takeit]

11. She can't even inspire her delegates to show

How is that the voters fault? She is a horrible candidate. Make the buck stop where it belongs, in her lap.

[Demonaut]

13. IBTL

[Nyan]

14. Hillary Clinton may very well hand GE to Ted Cruz. He's beating her in many polls.

Bernie, on the other hand, tends to beat him by double digits almost all of the time.
I would give you the link, but you can easily look it up, since it's every single one of GE match-up polls conducted so far

[Stallion]

15. They Are Threatening Not to Show up in 2018 Too

I'm a Democrat and I vote for the Democrat in every election

[Marrah_G]

16. Go take a long walk of a short pier.

[Rex]

22. These last few weeks have seen some really pathetic concern trolling.

And not for a minute do I believe these folks support either Bernie or HRC...I think they are just here to try and divide up the party.

SSDY.

19. Bernie would not lose to Cruz or Trump in the general.

Polls show him beating both by huge margins. And don't give me the "Wait till Republicans start beating up on him" crap. The Clinton camp has thrown everything they have at him- it doesn't work. The more people see him, the more they like him and his message. Attack him his numbers go up. He'd win the General- with a platform we could be proud of.

Now, if you're assuming Hillary might lose the General to Cruz? Maybe it's time to rethink your support of her. Honestly? She's a lousy candidate.

[SheilaT]

20. You have noticed that Bernie does better in every single match-up with a possible

Republican nominee, yes? In which case, what the fuck are you talking about?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

24. I was wondering just today when this would come up. You didn't let me wait long before...

...you start blaming Bernie supporters for Hillary's GE loss instead of the candidate herself.

You just better make sure you're prepared to you work your ass off to get her elected in the GE if she is the nominee and stop looking for a scapegoat to blame when she loses to tRump.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

26. Alerted. Hillaryites are supposed to smear Sanders supporters in GD P.

But while I'm here, if you nominate a thoroughly corrupted liar, I won't feel guilty about a thing. That's one's on you.

Still--alerted.
