Why don't we let Hillary speak for herself on this? nt Jitter65 Apr 2016 #104

It just might piss off another quarter of Bernie supporters or even another 1/2 bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #108

Another asshole blogger. So what, the Internet is full of them emulatorloo Apr 2016 #2

The People's Review, Hillary’s approved propaganda outlet run by Brock riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #15

Is Brock a spokesperson for the Democratic Party? No emulatorloo Apr 2016 #23

Aren't you the guy who professes to be a media expert? riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #31

The article refers to 'Bernie or Bust' individuals… if someone declares they won't vote for you KittyWampus Apr 2016 #3

Please proceed. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #5

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOU!!! = Okay, then I'll engage voters who will. KittyWampus Apr 2016 #12

So you're plan to help HRC win is to engage voters who are already willing to vote for her. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #20

I think you make the case - politely - as to why they should change their position karynnj Apr 2016 #62

I flipped to "Democratic" for this primary. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2016 #10

Apparently you don't understand that the Democratic Party is a coalition. KittyWampus Apr 2016 #13

How is telling voters on the left that their votes are not needed NOR wanted coalition building? aikoaiko Apr 2016 #24

It's not a smart letter, but it's only telling that to those who have said they won't vote anyways. randome Apr 2016 #44

The harm is that by pushing away 25% of Bernie supporters who might be brought back to the party... aikoaiko Apr 2016 #48

A coalition is reciprocal. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #27

The gulf is mainly Clinton having actual solutions and Sanders offering empty rhetoric- KittyWampus Apr 2016 #38

Many economists have endorsed Sanders proposals. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #47

Peoplespew blog. What a worthless little hack he is. Autumn Apr 2016 #25

Here's hoping for fewer and fewer posts like this from supporters of both BootinUp Apr 2016 #26

Incorrect - Hillary cares about Bernie supports and wants their support - she just may not need it MariaThinks Apr 2016 #29

"We don't need your votes." - Is that the new slogan for the GE? redgreenandblue Apr 2016 #30

I "got it" a long time ago. RandySF Apr 2016 #49

It's some guy's blog post. It's not from the Clinton campaign. LuvLoogie Apr 2016 #37

It's a blog that has been incessently cited by Camp Clinton this cycle Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #59

Yeah. I see what you're saying. But that isn't Hillary's sentiment. Any politician wants LuvLoogie Apr 2016 #68

And pimped here by the HRC crowd, and TheCowsCameHome Apr 2016 #66

It's a blog. LuvLoogie Apr 2016 #69

Promoted shamelessly by the Hillbots. TheCowsCameHome Apr 2016 #72

Yes for the over 80% that can get behind Clinton. Threatening, attacking, accusing? seabeyond Apr 2016 #45

This man is as useless to HRC as Goodman is to Sanders karynnj Apr 2016 #50

It makes no sense to say that non-voters Eric J in MN Apr 2016 #52

I noticed that, too. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #56

They could, but they won't. athena Apr 2016 #91

"Sitting out"? Not likely. eom TransitJohn Apr 2016 #53

Maybe so, but they were going to vote in the GE. There is more to political life than The Party aikoaiko Apr 2016 #55

Thanks for making it an easier decision. n/t Lodestar Apr 2016 #57

No problem randr Apr 2016 #65

The ONLY people I hear saying that are disgruntled Bernie supporters online.... Hekate Apr 2016 #74

And now you see a HRC blogger say it. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #92

Uh huh. Hillary says "unite" and I read here that she said "go pound sand" & "we don't need you." Hekate Apr 2016 #105

She has time to earn my vote. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #106

Sure Hekate Apr 2016 #107

I thank you for being honest with yourself and others aikoaiko Apr 2016 #93

I wish you had been honest in your OP. athena Apr 2016 #95

The author of the article is saying HRC and her supporters don't need or want Bernie supporters aikoaiko Apr 2016 #96

The article is by a Hillary supporter. It is the opinion of a Hillary supporter. athena Apr 2016 #97

I did not say Hillary said it herself and I did not say I would not vote for HRC. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #98

Look at your OP title. athena Apr 2016 #99

The title does not imply that Hillary said the words. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #100

"Hillary doesn't need or want your vote" athena Apr 2016 #102

No it doesn't. Words have meanings. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #103
