29. Sorry, but I'll definitely vote Democratic in the general election regardless

Apr 2015

I'll be supporting Bernie Sanders in the primary, but I'm enthusiastically voting for whomever the Democratic nominee is in November. Anything less will be inviting another Bush into the White House.

Not so sure about that bigwillq Apr 2015 #4

I am pretty sure. Once the debates start, she is done. darkangel218 Apr 2015 #5

Hopefully. bigwillq Apr 2015 #6

I think he's already moving Clinton to the left. ananda Apr 2015 #8

I don't trust that she will actually move to the left. She will say she is. She will say liberal_at_heart Apr 2015 #12

Bernie Sanders, is another Micheal Dukis: Dems will lose to the GOP!! lewebley3 Apr 2015 #7

No he won't! ananda Apr 2015 #9

He is a not Dem: Bernie not has worked to build the Dem Party!! lewebley3 Apr 2015 #34

Everyone watch your step! Theres a steaming pile of dog shit right here. bunnies Apr 2015 #37

Good one! hootinholler Apr 2015 #28

Bernie is running as a Democrat, not Independent groundloop Apr 2015 #30

We'd better listen to Lewebley3. Political analysis so good they can't spell Ralph Nader jeff47 Apr 2015 #43

You understood whom I was talking about: wrong spelling or not!! lewebley3 Apr 2015 #52

Yes, and your inability to spell means your analysis is garbage jeff47 Apr 2015 #53

That is just your opinion, You spelled everything right, but still have garbage analysis!! lewebley3 Apr 2015 #61

Yeah, well, you know... Iggo Apr 2015 #67

K&R! G_j Apr 2015 #14

Senator Sanders matches my values BrotherIvan Apr 2015 #15

To me, Hillary is a politician but, Bernie is a true statesman. That is the essential difference. Hiraeth Apr 2015 #17

Very well said. Pooka Fey Apr 2015 #31

that's nice but there are many who feel the same about Hillary JI7 Apr 2015 #18

Yup 99Forever Apr 2015 #23

If Bernie wins the nomination, I can actually vote Democratic in the general. Maedhros Apr 2015 #24

Sorry, but I'll definitely vote Democratic in the general election regardless groundloop Apr 2015 #29

Do as you feel you should. Maedhros Apr 2015 #41

Me too! Fantastic Anarchist Apr 2015 #46

I feel no loyalty to a Party that has repeatedly kicked me in the teeth (metaphorically), Maedhros Apr 2015 #55

Your attitude, which matches mine, is the exact reason why A Simple Game Apr 2015 #68

I'll do whatever it takes to get Bernie the nomination. [n/t] Maedhros Apr 2015 #70

Beautifully said MissDeeds Apr 2015 #26

Told my 20 year old Reddit-based grandson that Bernie was going to run - response was YES! djean111 Apr 2015 #27

For me, it is finally voting 100% for somebody I want to win... TheProgressive Apr 2015 #32

EXACTLY! Someone you WANT to vote for for sure!! TheNutcracker Apr 2015 #39

Same here. With Bernie the process of voting doesn't seem like futility LittleBlue Apr 2015 #33

Hillary is not an evil: She is hard working loyal Dem: Which Bernie is not!! lewebley3 Apr 2015 #36

"the lesser of two evils" is simply a phrase denoting a lack of choice cali Apr 2015 #38

Very true. His record mirrors my values as a democrat! TheNutcracker Apr 2015 #40

Her new stances feel very focus group tested. You don't get a weather vane in Bernie like you do Ed Suspicious Apr 2015 #56

So, you get paid per post or is it a bulk deal? (nt) jeff47 Apr 2015 #45

I hope neither ... Fantastic Anarchist Apr 2015 #48

Shhh....I wanna get in on the deal. jeff47 Apr 2015 #49

Mum's the word. Fantastic Anarchist Apr 2015 #51

To be honest, a bot written even moderately well would post such nonsense far more effectively Dragonfli Apr 2015 #73

Me too: “Bernie makes me *want* to vote!” Alkene Apr 2015 #42

It was my response! Fantastic Anarchist Apr 2015 #44

No, thank YOU. It speaks to the apathy problem, and is a total turnaround. TheNutcracker Apr 2015 #47

Yes, but you took it to the top! Fantastic Anarchist Apr 2015 #50

Your line could send a good message to get out there: Bernie makes me 'want' to vote! TheNutcracker Apr 2015 #74

That is a fantastic idea. Fantastic Anarchist Apr 2015 #78

I would vote FOR him instead of against the Republican. PeteSelman Apr 2015 #54

Let's be honest, you don't fucking know that. Ed Suspicious Apr 2015 #58

$10,000 bet? Heh. PeteSelman Apr 2015 #60

I have a feeling that the Bernie/Hillary debates won't be tepid. K&R Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2015 #59

It's an amazing feeling! Right after I heard he was entering the race, I decided to finally become Quackers Apr 2015 #75

Which is why the Third Way is having a conniption fit over his candidacy n/t Fumesucker Apr 2015 #79
