In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump just convinced me to vote for Hillary if the nominee [View all]The person who's post I reported could have rebutted the person's statements without being rude or over the top, they did not do so.
Sorry, Hil. I won't be guiltmongered into voting for you. I think a total systemic collapse at this point would actually be better for the country in the long run than a Clinton presidency.
I don't see where it advocates a Republican presidency, or are you one of those type of people who try to say that this person's not voting for the nominee; which is everyone's right even under DU post-primary rules; is the same as voting for the Republican nominee. It's not.
I announced my position before Clinton announced that I would not support her, and I will stick to that until after the November election. We have 300,000,000 Americans, the presidency isn't something that should be passed back between a couple of families as a right of their name, status, and position. We as a nation decided against titles of nobility a long time ago. Just for the record I will oppose Chelsea if she ever decided to run for that very same reason.
Instead the poster totally dismissed this person's concerns, and instead decided to call them a comedian casting the aspersion that their concerns were nothing but a joke, and that my friend is the very definition of rude.
Just in case you think I only reported it because it was targeted at a Bernie supporter, I would have reported a Bernie supporter saying the same thing to a Clinton supporter. I do not play favorites where civility is involved. Attack the issue, never the person.

The only reason all Republican pols aren't supporting him now is because he's too frank.

If Sanders had won, I too would be voting against Trump, not for Sanders. That works, surely.
