Bernie or "Bust" Who does that hurt?

[timlot]

A lot of Sanders supporter seem to believe Hillary is a weak, compromised candidate with bad judgement. Fair enough. So the "bust" contingent either stay home or God forbid vote for Trump to show their displeasure with Hillary. The poor and middle class won't even get a seat at the table in Trump administration. All the issues Bernie supporter "seem" to care so much about won't even get heard. In the long run who does that hurt? Hillary? She'll still be rich walking around with Secret Service protection for the rest of her life.

1. timlot—Get a general-election HRC to win w/ Bush/Cheney voters.

2. Their threats of violence crossed a line. Their true colors are showing.

[Fawke Em]

8. There's been no threats of violence.

Protesting is as American as apple pie. You don't have to be violent to march in protest.

[Silver_Witch]

3. So you suggest there are only 2candidates?

Not true my friend many as running. Vote your heart and mind! Love wins not war!

[Fuddnik]

4. There are more alternatives than Trump.

[VulgarPoet]

5. Thing is, a lot of us poor and middle class-- the ones I know, at least

We hear Hillary's been giving all kinds of secretive, cloak-and-dagger speeches to Wall Street bankers, who the vast majority of people I know believe are the devil after the recession, and we don't believe we'll have a seat at the table with her either. The fact of the matter is, we're looking at two candidates who have both been courting heavily moneyed interests and promising a stronger foreign policy, both of which don't bode well. The fact of the matter is, the issues we care about won't be listened to by either even if she did win the election, so what's the point at the end of the day? Take solace in a meaningless label, while the Earth continues to burn because we've barely been shunting subsistence level funding towards alternative fuels from how little headway it's made? Take solace in a meaningless label, while American soldiers and foreign innocents bleed out in the middle of a sand pit because we had to wave our metaphorical genitalia around in another country's face? Take solace in a meaningless label, while the ability to hide from our own agencies spying on us is ripped away because "terrorists might use encryption too so Americans shouldn't be able to use it"?

Fade me.

6. The Bernie movement has never been about the poor and middle class.

The Bernie or Bust and the riots in Vegas just made it obvious for everyone to see.

[Fawke Em]

10. That's a lie.

Bernie is the only candidate in decades that has dared to even mention the real issues we poor and middle class folks have.

You're as out of touch as your corrupt candidate.

[YouDig]

12. How do explain Bernie or Bust then? The target of that movement is to hurt the poor and middle

class by electing Trump. The rioters in Vegas who got drunk on $20 casino cocktails and then chanted death threats weren't "poor and middle class". It's the new Brook Brothers riot, only with different brands of clothes.

[mikehiggins]

13. The "riots" in Vegas?

What a crock of horse shit.

This is as much a made-up MSM/Brock story as the Capehart picture crap.

I have been at caucuses and such where chairs, and punches, have actually been thrown. This time around the only punch thrown was by a Clinton supporter who hit a woman supporting Sanders.

Hundreds of cell phone and no video of thrown chairs.

Did I mention it was a crock of horse shit?

Telling a lie over and over again doesn't make it true.

[YouDig]

15. Of course, it was a David Brock conspiracy. Obviously.

[Fawke Em]

7. The poor and middle class won't have a seat at the table under her, either.

The fact is that both Trump and Clinton are equally horrifying to those of us in the middle class, but for different reasons.

Might as well be Bernie or Bust since the other two choice offer no hope to the Middle Class what-so-ever.

11. Clinton has spent her life advocating for poor. Sanders for the white middle and upper middle.

9. PUMA of 2016... They just come off looking foolish, are dismissed. The adults continue progressing

forward.

[Fawke Em]

16. Adults?

LOL.

Adults should know better than to support a person under a criminal investigation by the FBI.

Clinton's supporters are the epitome of a "cult of personality." Or, in this case, a "cult of gender."

[seabeyond]

19. No they aren't.

[baldguy]

14. Democrats and progressives.

Because it leads to a Trump presidency and fascism.

[Fawke Em]

17. But a Clinton presidency leads to an oligarchy.

Wow. I'm so thrilled about our choices in November: The Oligarchs v. The Fascists

[baldguy]

18. That's just another version of "Democrats = Republicans", which is a RW lie.

It's designed to sap support from progressive Democrats like Hilary Clinton, and the Democratic Party in general.

Republicans don't believe that bullshit propaganda. Why do you?
