Suppose Bernie had Hillary's superdelegates, would you support him in the GE?

[Octafish]

I'm asking, because I keep reading that Bernie supporters are not somehow "on board."

So, were the situation reversed, would you vote for Bernie Sanders as the Democratic nominee?

Would you opt out of the election?

Would you vote for Trump?

1. What about Fuck Trump is hard to understand?

I'd be mad if that happened. I'd still vote for the nominee because Trump.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

2. I'll vote for the nominee of the Democratic Party (NT)

[lapucelle]

3. If Sanders had won the nomination

I would have voted for him in November.

I don't understand why the candidate who lost the pledged delegate count and the popular vote is for some reason entitled to a nomination he didn't win by any measure.

5. Well, because BS is more "electable", even though he wasn't electable enough to win the primary n/t

4. I would support the candidate who won the most pledged delegates, and historically the candidate who

has the most pledged delegates, the SD will go with. That is what happened with Obama and Clinton

[Hortensis]

9. Exactly. The one who has the popular vote is

almost always the one with the most pledged delegates. In 2016 Hillary Clinton has both and Sanders has neither.

Superdelegates are irrelevant to me in this case, except for what their rejection of Bernie says about their evaluations of him.

But Octafish, let me make clear. I am farther left than Hillary and wanted a more leftward candidate. After watching Bernie all these months, however, I firmly believe that Bernie is NOT the right stuff for president, not by temperament, intellect, judgement, or ethics. I would vote for him if he were my only choice, of course, but that is all.

6. Do you mean if he won, or if he flipped them?

In the one case, of course I would support the winner of the primaries. In the other case, I'm not sure yet if I could get behind someone who was undemocratically given the nomination against the will of the voters.

[Agnosticsherbet]

7. Since Super Delegates would only support the pledged delegate winner

Certainly.
Was that what you meant by your question?

Since they were first used, Superdelrgates have always supported the winner of the pledged delegates.

I am not sure what issue is in question here.

8. if the roles were reversed and sanders had the

majority of votes, of pledged delegates and super delegates of course we would have to support him as our nominee....the stakes are too high


luckily, we don't

[MineralMan]

10. Every Clinton supporter I've seen on this site has

said that they would vote for Sanders if he became the nominee. I've said that dozens of times. Democrats vote for Democrats.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. I have said from the beginning, I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

I will admit that I'm glad it's Hillary, but I would have voted for Bernie without hesitation had he won the nomination.

[Lil Missy]

12. I will support the Democratic nominee. Period.

[all american girl]

13. If he had won the most pledged delegates, I would gladly vote for him...

but he didn't and thinking overturning the will of the voters is wrong.

[LongtimeAZDem]

14. Looks like a good place for my first post here

I was waiting until the new rules kicked in, but I wanted to weigh in on this.

I have said for a year, on other sites, that I would vote for the Democratic nominee, whether it be Clinton or Sanders.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I would support the candidate who led in earned delegates/popular vote.

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. If grasshoppers had machine guns, birds wouldn't fuck with em

This makes much more sense to me than your hypothetical.
