1. That's wonderful!

[MineralMan]

2. What a lot of work you did to create that!

Too bad it was for naught.

[workinclasszero]

3. I hope Trump pays well at least

Into the trash with this garbage

[JudyM]

8. Ah yes. Because real Dems only back Clinton.

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. I don't think that's a proper flow chart. Hillary Venn diagram was similar though.

[Cheese Sandwich]

70. I like it. A lot of good stuff there.

[fleabiscuit]

9. Already been done, as is the primary.

51. Now that there is funny. Real funny. (Hahahaha in HRC tone)

[JudyM]

10. Under Who can beat tRump, on her side you might add investigations under the polling numbers.

Also favorability and independents.

You might want to remove ' who would be better for the country' from the electability box and stand it in its own box next to the who can beat tRump box, too.

I like it. Very clear.

[JudyM]

16. Not a sir. But carry on.

[JudyM]

21. Of course, no prob!

[Dem2]

11. Eh, yes, not original thinking

it's generic anti-Clinton cherry picking - we've seen it all 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

[Dem2]

44. I didn't say you were wrong

I said you are cherry picking data because you have an issue with confirmation bias.

[Fla Dem]

72. Just for starters, she was never CEO of Walmart.

If you got this simple fact wrong, the rest is also suspect.

[BootinUp]

12. Congratulations. You pass the DU BS supporter talking points test. nt

[JudyM]

18. Sanders...

[BootinUp]

22. THose are his initials. Makes the subject line shorter.

[mindwalker_i]

27. Interesting to recast facts as talking points

Makes them a whole lot easier to ignore, I suppose.

[BootinUp]

30. What a strong case you and the OP make I'm SOLD /sarcasm

[mindwalker_i]

31. A strong case can't overcome adulation and belief

Somehow, facts and reality will never make a dent, hence they're recast as talking points.

[BootinUp]

33. This is pointless, enjoy your "facts". nt

[BootinUp]

41. Pay more attention to threads from HRC supporters. nt

[BootinUp]

47. Upset are you? It is clear to me from the OP

that he/she would benefit from taking a broader look. Hurl all the bathroom level insults you want. That definitely doesn't impress me.

[Skwmom]

20. She has used her government position to put herself into the 1%.

[yawnmaster]

23. decision points should be diamonds and "there" should be "their" in point 5 of sanders first...

rectangle. End points are generally circles or ovals, not diamonds, as they are decision points.
In addition the flowchart runs into a single rectangle (decision point) labeled who will beat Trump...
In this case you don't even need the first informational rectangles of the flow chart.
You could just start in that rectangle. The rectangles immediately following the "who will beat Trump" decision point should be part of the decision point.
According to this, somewhat different, flowchart, since the decision is made on whom to vote for by whether they will beat trump or not. You don't need all that extra information prior to that.
If one just wants to put out bullet points for the candidates, that is fine, but a flow chart really isn't a great place to do that.

[felix_numinous]

24. K&R for good visual aids

we need more visual aides around here I always made quantum leaps in understanding in school when seeing the diagrams.

Welcome Machineland

[Chemisse]

26. The Republicans are really pushing this mindset.

They would love it if all Bernie supporters would write his name in in the GE.

[Chemisse]

48. You'll get real change with a Bernie write-in, alright. Trump.

Why would you push that action - with its obvious result - on a Democratic web site?

[mindwalker_i]

29. The General "electron"?

Damn, that's a lot of negativity!

However, you forgot the all-important reason to vote for Hillary: She's The Democrat (tm)! Bernie is an independent, even though he's registered democrat now. And shut up about Hillary being a republican! That was a while ago.

[mindwalker_i]

46. Hillary was a republican a while back - a Goldwater Girl

The Hillary acolytes love to point out how Sanders was independent but never touch Hillary being a republican.

Don't worry, I'm right there with you. my reply above was meant to be somwhat sarcastic about how Hillary is The Democrat (tm).

[KingFlorez]

34. What is a "general electron"?

[fleabiscuit]

35. I stole it...

https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/735152840260358145

The system is rigged in favor of the candidate who's won 3 million more votes. Unbelievable.

[MoonRiver]

61. Voting STATIS? What's that?

[Tavarious Jackson]

39. He pays his taxes without a scandal? PROVE IT. nt

[fleabiscuit]

42. That's gotta bern, might leave a mark. n/t

[Tavarious Jackson]

60. Lame excuse

Another Trump similarity.

[Tarc]

43. I'm impressed that you were able to cram that much bullshit into so many small blocks

"Will the establishment let Bernie run for president?" was a true charmer...

[Chemisse]

49. Lol! n/t

[Hav]

50. The purpose of this is pretty obvious.

Insinuating that Hillary might be worse than Trump and that one should write in Bernie Sanders if he doesn't win the nomination is clearly not in the spirit of this forum. Stressing that one should still write him in even if he would ask his supporters to vote for the Democratic candidate is done deliberately because should Bernie lose, he will definitely support Hillary.
Look, nothing wrong with being passionate about the candidate you support and absolutely nothing wrong with Bernie continueing to fight until the last voter had his say. But come on, we should be able to see when we are being played.

[oldandhappy]

52. Great job!

I even read it! Lots of times I just scan stuff. I do not know how hard it is to do that but I am impressed. Nice. Looks as if you are getting clobbered, never mind. Tis the season. Congratulations on your family and business.

[larkrake]

56. Really good chart

[msanthrope]

53. Sad that you're going negative for the "General electron." nt

[msanthrope]

67. You positively aren't a DUer until you respond, pun-in-kind. nt

[MoonRiver]

62. "I have sit back and watched?"

You need an English class.

[MoonRiver]

66. You are clear as day, dear. No mystery here.

[Autumn]

64. Hey Machineland please post this OP in the Bernie Sanders group

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1280

I like it.

[Jim Lane]

71. I'm no Clinton fan, but it's clear to me that Trump would be more detrimental to the country.

I completely agree with you in supporting Bernie for the nomination, both because he would be a better President and because he would be a stronger candidate against Trump.

You go on, however, to address the separate question of how to vote in the general election if it's Clinton versus Trump. In your "If I vote for Hillary" box, I agree with most of the criticisms but I see no point on which Clinton is worse than Trump. (As a comparatively minor correction, Clinton was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart but was never CEO.) In addition, Trump would willingly sign all kinds of horrible bills that Congress sent him. (A Trump win would probably mean continued Republican control of the Senate. Even if the Democrats took a narrow majority, they would probably lose it in 2018, and until then there would be plenty of bad bills that got through with a few conservaDem votes.) He would issue all kinds of bad executive orders, such as reinstating the global gag rule (reproductive rights) and rescinding much of the good that Obama's done through executive orders. I shudder to think about how he would staff the executive branch, in the appointive positions, and that of course reminds one of the ultimate hold-your-nose-and-vote-for-Clinton trump card, the Supreme Court and other federal courts.

If Clinton becomes President, I expect to disagree with a lot of what she does, but she wouldn't be nearly as bad as Trump would be.

[VOX]

73. Nicely stated. I'm in the same position...

Sounds flaky, but I'm voting for Sanders in the upcoming CA primary while getting used to the idea of supporting Clinton in the general, if that's how things shake out. Regardless, a Trump presidency is a horrible thing to contemplate for this country and the world. He'll always be a very loose cannon, petty, belligerent, uninformed and yes, dangerous. The proto-fascist Trump must be defeated.
