have made life rough for President Obama. I have not read a person who is a Bernie supporter right now imply they wouldn't vote for Hillary
Trust me when I say some of the Hillary supporters here ain't gonna' vote for Bernie and if they do it'll be grudgingly. With all the implications that come with that.

This Bernie supporter is voting for whoever is our candidate in the general and not only that I won't be posting shit about them once they get elected either. I've put up with a lot of shit from Hillary supporters which indicates that won't be the case if it is reversed. It'll be another rerun of President Obama
This based on what I've seen these last 6 and 1/2 years.
