Sick and tired of the divisiveness

There are a lot of us who are smart enough to understand the future of this country CANNOT be handed to the GOP. THE REAL GOP!!!!! Dismissing people who respect BOTH candidates is childish, counterproductive, and frankly drives people away from voting at all. The Dems are pushing REALLY hard to repeat 2000 and 1980. It's about time for all of us to wake up, realize that an opponent is not necessarily an enemy and start working together to elect the best candidates and AT THE SAME TIME, start spending some of this energy on something less foolish than tearing down one's allied opponent and start working to win some Senate and Congressional seats as well as local elections.

WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!

People are delusional if they think the 10-15% of difference between the three remaining candidates is equal to the sheer lunacy and destruction that would ensue if the GOP takes the White House (which would likely mean that they hold both houses of Congress as well).

Senator Sanders (I-VT):

"Yes, we do agree on a number of issues, and by the way, on her worst day, Hillary Clinton will be an infinitely better candidate and President than the Republican candidate on his best day."

Sanders has my vote as long as he's on the ballot (and no, I don't believe he will go third party).

But I agree with him here and will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.
