19. A lot of Hillary's voters........

May 2016

A lot of Hillary voters are old, and wont be around for many more election cycles.
The party would do well not to alienate Bernie's enthusiastic first time voters. These are your seeds. Will you plant them and tend them lovingly? or will you contemptuously discard them?

How is that relevant? BzaDem May 2016 #113

I disagree that if Hillary loses, the country as we know it will cease to exist Maedhros May 2016 #114

Sanders is the avowed enemy of the Democratic Party. You're surprised that the DNC doesn't like him? randome May 2016 #38

That's absurd. hellofromreddit May 2016 #45

It's also why he has fewer Congressional endorsements than Ted Cruz. randome May 2016 #48

A resounding lack of endorsements from a despised congress doesn't make him an enemy. hellofromreddit May 2016 #49

I get it. You and Sanders despise everyone else. I'm fine with that. randome May 2016 #57

You've reduced yourself to lying. Not gonna play the straw man game with you. hellofromreddit May 2016 #59

He's called the party ideologically bankrupt mythology May 2016 #69

"Not exactly words of a friend." Also not the words of an avowed enemy. hellofromreddit May 2016 #71

If that were true he'd be running as a Third Party spoiler Armstead May 2016 #51

He's spent decades telling the DNC how corrupt they are. randome May 2016 #58

Seems to have done pretty well for a guy who started with almost no profile Armstead May 2016 #60

He HAS done well. He brings light to important issues. randome May 2016 #65

The whole post is full of factual inaccuracies. YouDig May 2016 #63

Perhaps you require an example. A'ight. hellofromreddit May 2016 #67

Your OP said "none of what they said they'd do with it". Clearly incorrect. YouDig May 2016 #68

The literalism game might win you points in a debate class, but I don't care. hellofromreddit May 2016 #72

Calling my post "trash" since you can't muster a response won't even win you points in debate class. YouDig May 2016 #75
