A vote for Bernie IS NOT equivalent to a vote for a republican.

A vote for Bernie is ... a vote for Bernie.

Besides, Bernie is more electable. If you are so scared of a republican being President, then vote for Bernie in the primary and general elections.

But I cannot find when either died, so I hope it was just a false rumor...maybe to promote their latest

This pledge has been taken by many members of the 'Not Hillary' Party on Democratic Underground.

If they can't support the nominee they shouldn't have participated in the process.

Always have and always will. I'm not bailing a bunch of centrists-right dems out. We'll end up with the candidate the majority of people vote for. If Hillary can't win it, she shouldn't be standing in the way of someone who might do better. This isn't a game. I expect Hillary will win given the opposition but who knows...
