In reply to the discussion: Stop with the damn dirty politics against other Democrats [View all]calimary
(91,192 posts)We need OUR OWN "11th Commandment" like the one ronald reagan had for republi-CONS. Ours would state:
"Thou shalt not speak ill of another Democrat."
All I'll say about the divisiveness that's building here between one candidate's followers and another candidate's followers - Bernie Sanders has already stated that he is not, and will not be, a spoiler. If he doesn't get the nomination, he's already said he won't break away and run as an independent, but will support the Democratic nominee. Because he wisely points out that it's FAR more important to keep the White House in Democratic hands. FAR MORE IMPORTANT. Whoever sits in that Oval Office is the one who gets to pick the next Supreme Court nominees. And for me, frankly, that's pretty much all I need to know.
I, too, have already stated (as have other Hillary supporters on this board) that we will be proud to support and vote for Bernie Sanders if he beats Hillary to the nomination. I wish I saw that, correspondingly, from other camps. And unfortunately, I do not.
We cannot afford for ANY of us to stay home and pout on Election Day. We Just CAN'T. I certainly have no plans to do that. None whatsoever.
