Donald Trump just convinced me to vote for Hillary if the nominee

42. I don't disagree with your conclusions.

Like you I voted for Sanders in my state's primary, and I've voted a straight Dem ticket all my life.

I agree that we can do better in our candidates, and I think Bernie is the better candidate. But Bernie isn't winning right now and his chances of wining are tiny at this point. I've got no problem continuing to fight for Bernie until he's out. Bernie can stay in as long has he likes, its fine.

But I do have a problem with people who give up and quit. I'm reacting to the notion I see all to often around here that if Bernie isn't on the ballot they're going to stay home, or write in, or flip to Trump. As far as I'm concerned that's giving up.

The struggle doesn't end because Bernie didn't win the Democratic Primary. The struggle doesn't end if Bernie does win. The struggle doesn't end if Bernie goes all the way to the White House. The struggle is the struggle, the work is the same in every outcome.
