Dancing in the Ashes

5. I don't know the answer to that question (percentage-wise) ...

... but I can tell you that just today, I read a post from a Bernie fan who was quite blunt and emphatic about the fact that he/she was NOT a Democrat, and identified as a "Green" party member.

I'm sure that linking directly to the post would get me a hide. (That's why I'm being vague and not even mentioning this person's gender or user ID.)

Still, I thought it was interesting to note that this particular Bernie supporter was (in all likelihood) a Nader supporter as well. I don't know for sure, but based on the self-proclaimed party identification, it's highly probable.

I've often wondered why it seemed to be so easy, almost second-nature, for so many of Bernie's fans (particularly the "Bernie-or-Bust" variety) to take such pride and delight in declaring their intentions to never vote for Hillary, under any circumstances ... even at the risk of a GOP presidency. (Supposedly, this was to teach a lesson... or to "burn down the house" so that it could be rebuilt better than before.)

I must admit, I don't fully understand the motivation of some individuals.



Note to Jury: No person was identified in this post. It's not a call-out. I didn't even quote another person, it was simply a paraphrase of the ideas that the person expressed. I am not criticizing or slamming or insulting this anonymous person. I'm simply expressing that I believe their comments were noteworthy and interesting to me.
