sorry, can't promise that, especially the second part. liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #1

You mean you won't vote for the Nominee? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #2

Even Skinner says he only cuts off discussion once Nominee has KoKo Nov 2013 #8

I am not silencing anything. I asked a question. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #9

Your Second Question had an Aura of Authoritarian Rhetoric... KoKo Nov 2013 #10

That was not my intention. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #12

I will vote for LostOne4Ever Nov 2013 #77

Did not mean to come off as hostile. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #56

sorry, but I'll be supporting the most LIBERAL and PROGESSIVE candidate in 2016.... mike_c Nov 2013 #3

Do you live in a swing state? hrmjustin Nov 2013 #4

norcal.... mike_c Nov 2013 #5

Well I hope that you can vote for the Dem Nominee. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #6

Lived in Arcata, and Trinadad during my reckless youth.. denbot Nov 2013 #37

I agree with the former and absolutely disagree with the latter. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #11

If we don't support the nominee it could mean a republican wins. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #13

No. If I don't support a nominee, it means I don't support a nominee. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #14

Point taken but I still can not imagine not voting for the nominee. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #17

I used to be that way. winter is coming Nov 2013 #21

Yes it will be an interesting topic for the next few years. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #23

Good for u. I feel the 840high Nov 2013 #49

If a Republican wins, it means the Democrat failed to attract enough voters. winter is coming Nov 2013 #19

That is a good point. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #20

Unlikely. n/t winter is coming Nov 2013 #22

save for one thing DonCoquixote Nov 2013 #55

No. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2013 #15

people won't like to promise from now that they'll vote for the 2016 nominee La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2013 #16

Good point. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #18

we shall see. I've talked about not voting democrat in the past but always did vote for the liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #28

my point is that between crazy talk and apologetic capitalism La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2013 #47

voting against the crazy talk was why I voted democrat last time, but that cannot be the liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #62

you choices and everyone else's is limited. that is not my compelling you to vote one way La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2013 #63

there are other people to vote for, there are other parties to vote for, and there is the not liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #64

sure however none of that determines who will be in power. nt La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2013 #65

it does if enough people vote for the alternative. DeBlasio won. Sanders and Warren are very liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #66

Deblasio won because he won the democratic primary in a very liberal city La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2013 #71

Believe what you want. I'm so tired of the "they'll never win" meme. liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #72

where do these third party people ever win? the only 2 i can think about are bloomberg La Lioness Priyanka Nov 2013 #73

look I'm not going to sit here and argue with you all night. I'm tired of the two parties liberal_at_heart Nov 2013 #74
