(1,729 posts)There are many who were always the third party type that come over for Bernie. I don't think most Democrats of the last hundred years would be to their likingand I certainly hope none from the previous hundred would be.
It's a shame peopled don't see the difference between Trump or Cruz and Hillary. The fans of Trump and Cruz certainly see the difference. They recognize her for the liberal that she is. All of this hullaballoo is over truly minor differences. Read Hillary's website positions. That she has a whole page on climate change when people on the right believe it's junk science, that ought to make people very afraid of the Republicans this year. Both Romney and McCain were far more progressive than this new batch and they were terrifying enough.
Hopefully the third party types will give Hillary a chance. Even if they think she's the "lesser of two evils," which I do not believe, you're talking about a Grand Canyon sized chasm of evil between the two. Supporting any of the Republicans via passive action is tantamount to cutting your nose to spite your face and guaranteeing that, even if a Republican fires up the left to fight back in 2020, the Supreme Court will be lost for decades to come and Citizens United will become settled law.
