Bernie Has NEVER Supported the GOP Nominee over a Democrat - Wish I could Say the Same for Clinton

[BainsBane]

47. He called Clinton unqualified

His entire campaign has been built on attacking her, and he continues to do so despite having no path to nomination. Your post is evidence of the fact that he and his remaining supporters are working to erode her chances in the general election. Some here have even pledged to support Trump or refuse to vote for the nominee. We see constant prognostications that Trump will beat her, which given the fact such claims are contradicted by polls can only be wishful thinking.

Attacking Clinton, however, is the least of Bernie's transgressions. The fact he trails by 3 million votes has led him to adopt an argument for nomination that hinges on overturning the results of elections and super delegates installing him as nominee against the electoral will of the majority. He justifies that profoundly anti-democratic position by insisting his supporters are more valuable than the 3 million more who voted for Clinton because of their youth and the fact they are independents. He has fed into his supporters conspiracy theories and worked to delegitimize the votes of the majority--people of color, the disabled, elderly, women, and Democrats in states across the country--because it helps him justify his ongoing campaign, despite no path to victory through the ballot box. The fact he actively works against my equal rights as a voter is something I will never forgive. I have never in my life witnessed a politician with such contempt for the rights of voters. I know his supporters believe themselves inherently superior, that they reject the outcome of any election in which they don't prevail, and Bernie has encouraged that self-entitled rage toward the Party and Democratic voters. Now they plan to carry their opposition to the electoral rights of the majority to the national convention in Philadelphia. Say what you want about Clinton but make no mistake that we see clearly that in doing so the Bernistas show their complete contempt for the electoral rights of the majority. They are fighting for government by the minority, with themselves ruling over the rest of us. They will not succeed, but that they seek to do so is unforgivable. I have learned that I must fight every day for my basic rights, and I plan to do just that.
