In reply to the discussion: The one thing that will stop Bernie Sanders.....his supporters [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)I did not say that people who ALREADY support Hillary do so based on what others (like on DU) have said about her.
They ALREADY support her. They all ALREADY know who she is, and would be perfectly happy voting for her. Right now.
And so, what has to happen, is you have to convert them.
And if your approach is to bash Hillary, or people who support her. They will stop listening to you. They will tune you, and Bernie, out.
And you keep making reference to "both sides".
Hillary supporters say they will vote for Hillary or Bernie, which ever one wins the primary. Yet there are many here who say they support Bernie, and are quite adamant that they will never vote for Hillary.
Which of those "sides" do you think is more likely to attack the other?
