(83,708 posts)22. Let's get the story straight here Scoot
Your first response to me is saying I will not vote for the candidate in the general. Correct if I am wrong with what you stated.

3. I dunno Sheshe2, WILL you vote for a Democratic candidate other than your own?
I don't think you will, and your post history has only increased my certainty.

How about your attitude above^^^^and your presumption that I will not vote.Your presumption of entitlement over ME is indeed deeply flawed. Does that attitude work for you all over DU Scoot. LOL!
Does that attitude work for you elsewhere, Sheshe2? I'm sorry, but your presumption of entitlement over me is deeply flawed.
Wait! What! Have you missed all the Berns that are REFUSING to vote Dem if your guy loses?????? Wake up. Lol, you turn that into a loyalty pledge. Have you read the posts and polls from the Bernies asking if we will vote for him if he wins, and the answer has been unanimously yes. Your team, not so much.
Have you really been missing the demands - always from Clinton supporters to the rest of DU - to promise to vote for "whoever the Democratic candidate is?" really, are you that unaware? Your post is far from the first.
I don't have much time or patience with the rest of your rant. Where was I before 2012...
Sooooooo. One can only embrace politics on DU It is impossible to be aware unless on DU? EFu. I have been politically aware my entire life.
And really? Did you just sit politics out until joining in 2012 or something?
'Cause "Party Unity My Ass" wasn't, to the best of my knowledge a DU-only phenomena. Well, maybe you did. so let me explain.
In 2008, Clinton was falling behind Obama a little more every day, since the results of the initial primaries. And as she got further and further behind, her supporters got more and more, well, hateful. Like literally rabies-level hatred against barack obama. You think Birtherism got started by Sarah Palin? Donald Trump? nope, it got started on a Hillary Clinton mailing list and was thrown around in Democratic circles before the republicans picked it up and ran with it. There were no shortage of accusations that he was only ahead because of his skin (including the inevitable "race loyalty" garbage against black voters). Geraldine Ferraro was the most memorable of these for me, but i'm certain she wasn't alone.

Hey Scoot~ I have been an Obama girl from day one. Voted for him twice, supported him for 7 years now, always supported him. Never left his side. Now I am for Hillary, they became a fabulous team. They overcame their differences, and that to me is huge.
Hillary 2016~

Yeah, I just basically figure if there's a list, I'm already on it. Doesn't matter what it's for.
