2016 Postmortem

(145,129 posts)The premise or your post is not correct. This is not some game where it is okay to ignore the fact that a GOP victory will cost us the SCOTUS for a generation. I live in Texas where the gutting of the voting rights act has really hurt. If a GOP candidate wins in 2016, we can kiss the right to privacy and Roe v. Wade goodbye. This is not a game for those of us who live in the real world.
So far it is the sanders supporters who stating that they will not support the Democratic nominee. Most posters on DU will be supporting the Democratic nominee no matter what. It is sad that several Sanders supporters including yourself think that one can support a GOP candidate without consequences. Citizens United and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act are the consequences of people voting for Nader in 2000
I will support and vote for the Democratic nominee no matter what.
