(57,762 posts)People are going to vote for whomever they want, which is their right. None of these posts convince anyone. If anything, they backfire. Acknowledge people have the right to see candidates differently, cast your votes is several months time and move on to the general election. Because really, which individual that comes out on top of the Democratic heap means far less than the polices that are advanced. No president can carry out an agenda without support from congress. People can have their ideal president in office, and they will still face the same bullshit from the GOP congress. Only so much can be done through executive order. People have different ideas about who is best for the job. That's part of the process. As long as we get a Democratic nominee, I myself am not that terribly invested in who it turns out to be. It certainly isn't worth all this petty bickering. You all place far too much on the importance of the individual candidate. Capitalism doesn't rise or fall depending on who gets the nomination. Work hard to get your candidate elected, but this constant vitriol against other candidates and those DUers who have the nerve to disagree with you (speaking generally, not about the OP in particular) is a waste of energy. Focus on issues that matter, not just personalities. People need to get over this desire to control the political choices of others. It's not your place to decide whom others vote for.
