(45,319 posts)72. Hey Red State. My Blue State just voted for Bernie by a large margin, in November we will
give our electoral votes to the Democratic nominee while your State delivers to Trump. That's the facts on the ground. In November, your State culture will wrap up their entire delegation and hand deliver it to Donald Trump. Should we blame you for that?
Your own State had over 120,000 votes for Bernie. 30% of Democratic voters. I look at the Republican dominance in your State and I marvel that you feel you can afford to treat other Democrats poorly. Perhaps with less of that crap your State could pass some basic protections for LGBT or something. I'd say red States like yours the Democrats need one another in an existential way.

As long as we have a two party system one is better able to leverage one's vote

I will not be held hostage by the two party system anymore. The shackles have come off.

The shackles are still on. We either retake a major party, or we don't ever control anything.

Sanders and his followers are worse enemies so far than the Republicans and Trump.
