If you are going to vote for the establishment candidate why are you on Democratic Underground?

50. Majority of active posters are pro-Bernie & ergo major source of DU revenue.

I've been aware of that from the beginning. I'm a Sanders supporter because his presidency would be the best for the country - or to be more precise, for 99% of the country. I could also work in support of O'Malley, or probably any other last minute, Democratic presidential candidate. But I will never give a dollar to or lift a finger for Hillary. With her personal millions and her corporate support, she won't need my time or money. Given the cast of possible GOP candidates, anyone the Dems run will win quite easily.

Should the primary winner be Clinton, I may vote for her as the lesser of 2 evils, but I will devote all my donations and efforts to Democratic candidates who are truly progressive - I have great Dems running for the Senate (male) & House (female) from my state, and also a state house candidate (female) who is excellent. I'm not shallow or vapid enough to vote for anyone based upon their gender. I only mention the gender of candidates I support to show that yes, I DO support women - but only when I determine they're the best candidate because of their values as demonstrated by past performance, not campaign rhetoric.

If Clinton wins the primary, I'll be long gone from DU & HRC's offensive supporters. I suspect most of the more recent member/supporters who joined to push HRC will also move on to other social media to push her case. Won't be any reason for them to remain on DU. Without Sanders and his supporters to vilify and attack, there's no real purpose or benefit for them in remaining.
