Be cautious of "Never Bernie"

[Happy Hoosier]

So I don’t think it’s a secret I’m not a Sanders fan. Nope. Don’t like ‘im. BUT..... I have heard rumblings of a Never Bernie “movement.” I think it is 100% a lock that any such “movement” is born in the bowels of a Russian troll farm.

Don’t fall for it.

Sanders ain’t my guy. But if he is nominated, I will vote for him. And so should you.

1. It's been expressed on this site.

That said, I’m pretty sure that sort of thing has happened every cycle.

2. Yes, all of us at DU will vote for the nominee. I think you are right, sounds like that's coming

from Russian troll farm. Thanks for posting.

3. Agreed. k&r n/t

4. i agree... i am NOT a fan of BS in fact I detest the man but i will vote for him IF..

..he gets the nom.


How many of BS voters will vow to do the same?

[MisterFred]

17. Me and all the ones I know. nt

5. +1. Sanders didn't denounce Russia helping his campaign but I'd be damned if Trump gets another term

[Happy Hoosier]

8. Yup, elections aren't Marriages...

I don’t have to love the candidate. Right now our mission is to defeat Trump. Even if I don’t think Sanders is Guy for the job, if he gets the nom, then supporting him in the election becomes a patriotic duty.

10. Actually, he DID. Sanders said Putin should stay out of the US election,

adding that if he (Sanders) is elected, he'll make sure of it in the future.

I heard a Public News Service report on this today.

6. I don't think ANYONE of DU will sit out the election regardless of who the nominee is

[BusyBeingBest]

7. Almost everyone here

And prob most dems will vote for him if he’s the nominee. I am not too concerned about that.

9. We each have ONE JOB on Election Day.

And that's to cast our vote for the Republican or Democratic candidate who most closely matches up to our values and priorities.

That's pretty much it.

You each have ONE JOB.

11. There's one over-arching message behind the "never Bernie" movement:

"Preventing a second Trump term is really not all that big a deal!"

[Dopers_Greed]

12. Remember that "Never Kamala" made the rounds on social media a while back

That was also traced to a Russian troll farm

13. I thought Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow

laid out why it is dumb for people to say that Bernie is not electable. Especially Haye's show where he stated flat out, there are no statistics, there is no proof at all that Bernie will lose to Trump. According to guests on Haye's show it is "establishment" Democrats who are making that claim, I'm not making that claim, it's what was said. Statistics actually show Bernie beating Trump.

But hey. maybe people here have inside info that Hayes and Maddow don't?

I wish everyone here who states that Bernie is not electable had watched those 2 shows tonight.

ps/ I don't say negative things about any of our candidates.

[Happy Hoosier]

14. This isn't about "electability"

It’s about attempts to turn us against each other. I still fully intend to vote for someone other than Sen. Sanders. But should he get the nomination, I will vote for him and urge others to so, and not fall for attempts to divide us.

[Delmoniko]

15. All candidates are electable

I will vote for the nominee to get trump out of office

[onecaliberal]

16. THIS

[progressoid]

18. It'll happen. It's just a matter of how severe it is.

Hopefully it won't be as bad as the PUMA crowd during Obama's run. Luckily he was able to overcome the gap.

The specter of four more years of trump should help us regardless of the nominee.

[LiberalBrooke]

19. Vote Blue no matter who.

Any candidate the Democrats nominate will be so so much better than any rethug. Bernie is far from my first choice but I will proudly support him if he gets the nomination as I will any democratic candidate. That has always been my position.
