By the way, I agree, nobody should be trying to convince you to vote for Bernie because enough Bernie supporters wont vote for her in the general. I think she's almost a shoe-in to win, even without my vote, and I don't feel like that tactic is worthy of Bernie supporters, who in general, should be more interested in the issues and the ethics than being on the winning team for the sake of winning. Of course there are even more posts daily about how, a little over 50% through the primaries, Bernie should drop out, as if getting as many delegates as Clinton did in the first half, would be impossible in the second. THATS JUST MATHEMATICAL REALITY!!!

For the record, I'm not giving ultimatums. If I don't vote for Hillary, it will be because I think this pretend democracy is ruining our nation and our environment, and I'm not going to simply push the blue button because the red one is obviously covered in shit. I'm pretty sure there's fecal matter on both, and at least the red one reminds us to sanitize.

so am I one of those "immature", "too pure", or "too privileged" voters?

Doesn't she shill for a make-up company and a pharmaceutical company as well Trenzalore Mar 2016 #1

She's voting for Sanders, not Trump. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #91
In the primary, sure. In the GE, not voting for the nominee is helping Trump. DanTex Mar 2016 #92
How does that help Trump? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #107
It's a zero sum game. There are two options in the general. Hillary's loss is Trump's gain. DanTex Mar 2016 #120
Not on my ballot. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #123
Third party candidates are a wasted vote. It's either D or R. Not voting D is helping the R. DanTex Mar 2016 #124
How? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #127
Because they can't possibly win. Not voting D is one net vote for the R. Voting R is two. DanTex Mar 2016 #128
You need to retake 2nd grade arithmetic. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #139
The math is simple. The effect of a non-vote is one more net R vote than a D vote. DanTex Mar 2016 #140
A non-vote? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #142
Net votes are what matters. And you have every right to try to help Trump win. DanTex Mar 2016 #143
Go right ahead. I will continue pointing out how wrong you are. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #145

So, demanding that people vote for Hillary is not based on any beliefs? Just a hunch? Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #160
