(2,565 posts)At least for most of the people I know (including myself) who will not vote for Hillary.
I have not been a member of the Democratic party for many years.
I didn't vote for Kerry or Obama. The democratic party left me behind in in the 1990s.
I voted for Gore in 2000 and then organized and campaigned for Dean in 03/04. After it became apparent that the DLC was firmly in control.. I haven't voted for a democrat since and had absolutely no plans to vote for a democrat in this election UNLESS someone new came along.
They did. His name is Bernie Sanders and I switched my registration just to make sure there was no confusion and I could cast my vote for him.
If he doesn't get the nomination. I'm not voting for a democrat, as I originally planned.
So, no, it's not "Bernie or Bust".. it's Bernie or I'm voting the way I originally planned.
