(5,946 posts)I always wonder when people will learn why vote for a fake republican when you can vote for a real one.

(44,333 posts)Given the vitriol that you and the other not-Hillary posters have posted, there's no way you were going to vote for Hillary anyway.

(13,340 posts)But if you can't talk yourself out of that position, look at Trump amd Cruz and again and tell me it's not worth doing whatever you can to keep those boaos out of the White House.
I would not have been thrilled with Bernie as out nominee, but I sure as hell would have voted for him, and donated and volunteered too.

(54,330 posts)you to vote for their candidate. It's very strange and bound to change when the polls start coming in Trump 60, Clinton 40.
Whether some fool on DU chooses to vote for Clinton or not in the GE has no impact at all on who will win. That's why Clinton supporters don't care. The point of these "I'm not voting for X" type threads is simply to garner attention and get a sense of power and the sense that your vote/opinion/hurt feelings matter when others beg you not to do it, when they are utterly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. You know what? Jump. It doesn't fucking matter. Tens of millions of voters have never even heard of DU and would not let their vote be affected by the kind of silliness that goes on here.
If you're choosing who you vote for for President based on how supporters of the other candidate treat you on an online forum, you've got issues.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
