Nope. I will be voting, just not for her. So there is no bust. Sorry to disappoint you. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #3

Bernie or Bust doesn't mean, "Bernie or I won't vote", it means exactly what you are saying... qdouble Jun 2016 #6

Did you invent the term? Why do you think you get to dictate what it means? Live and Learn Jun 2016 #7

Google "Bernie or Bust" and see that most of it's proponents are saying exactly what you are saying. qdouble Jun 2016 #10

How so? I said it doesn't have to be Bernie and I will be voting. I don't see a Bernie or a bust Live and Learn Jun 2016 #12

As opposed to the royal familes we keep electing? nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #13

Such drama and hyperbole Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #14

Really? Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Clinton, hmmmm. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #22

You name 5 presidents and 1 is a clinton Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #25

I named 4 and a possible (dubious as it might be) 5th that is a Clinton. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #29

Why would I trust Hillary to pick a SCOTUS? So she can pick one that ensures more private prisons Live and Learn Jun 2016 #18

She can't even be trusted to conduct her email. HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #46

No offense, but I don't believe you Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #51

LOL You are calling me a liar while supporting the candidate that said she was under sniper fire. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #52

Los Angeles Times printed a recent California poll that bears you out Hekate Jun 2016 #19

Charlie Cook says that 65% would push clinton to a near double digit lead over trump Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #21

Trump is probably toast in California. Even 50+% of Republicans here are for environmental Hekate Jun 2016 #27

40 million that don't want Hillary? Maybe. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #49

Californians are far more opposed to Trump than people in other states. JDPriestly Jun 2016 #37

How relevant is a Blue state? HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #47

The BoB'ers overestimate their size and importance ... just like the PUMAs of 2008 did n/t SFnomad Jun 2016 #23

Be careful, many of the PUMA's are back and still supporting Hillary. Yikes, they are on your side Live and Learn Jun 2016 #56

They were on my side in 2008 ... until they couldn't handle the fact that Clinton didn't win SFnomad Jun 2016 #68

Why try to learn anything? Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #31

You're a little bit obsessed aren't you? Scootaloo Jun 2016 #28

Well, we'll see soon enough. bjo59 Jun 2016 #38

sorry to hear you are not going to vote for MIC buddy bernie sanders. oh well nt msongs Jun 2016 #40

It doesn't make sense to say you'll never do something and then mention when you did it before. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #45

It's a tiny number of actual voters rjsquirrel Jun 2016 #41

True! Loud but irrelevant. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #44

Yet you're still butthurt over Nader. HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #48

First of all, great image to go with your post! Second of all, I don't wonder. I know they do. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #43

I doubt Bernie or Busters are a solid flock/school Sky Masterson Jun 2016 #50

The majority of Sanders supporters do not hang out on political forums. Trust Buster Jun 2016 #57

I am not Bernie or Bust, just anti-Hillary. bigwillq Jun 2016 #58

What's your point? 99Forever Jun 2016 #61

Call me whatever you like. I will not vote for a corrupt, money grubbing candidate. BillZBubb Jun 2016 #62

"Money grubbing" is being overly polite... Yurovsky Jun 2016 #63

I think "corrupt" covers that and other things. BillZBubb Jun 2016 #64

Pretty much, it's just too bad the powerful are never held accountable... Yurovsky Jun 2016 #66

So if the Will NOT Ever Vote for Clinton movement is so very insignificant... 99Forever Jun 2016 #67

I don't even think it is a movement. Cheese Sandwich Jun 2016 #69
