I get the feeling that many Bernie supporters will not vote for Hillary. AlbertCat Nov 2015 #60

Hillary supporters, of all people, demanding loyalty makes me laugh and laugh and laugh Scootaloo Nov 2015 #81

Scootaloo, enough with the straw man of loyalty oaths. It's so tiresome. Nitram Nov 2015 #102

The assumption that we won't, and the persistent browbeating tells another story. Scootaloo Nov 2015 #113

No, Scoot, you're misusing words and misrepresenting the facts. Nitram Nov 2015 #120

It's CONSTANT. It's BEEN constant since at least 2013, when people started talking about Warren Scootaloo Nov 2015 #124

Why would Democrats choose the side of the 1% and turn their backs on the 99%? rhett o rick Nov 2015 #148

I could not disagree with you more about HRC. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #150

But you won't be caught dead actually discussing any issues will you? As far as your vast majority, rhett o rick Nov 2015 #204

You assume a lot about someone you don't know. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #225

My criteria is that there are two sides in the class war. One side wants to help those in poverty, rhett o rick Nov 2015 #226

That is a very simplistic and, frankly, narrow minded analysis, imo. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #227

If helping those in need instead of helping corporations is "rigid ideology", then I am guilty. rhett o rick Nov 2015 #228

"My side" lol? MoonRiver Nov 2015 #229

You are choosing to support and lobby for a candidate that given the choice has openly choosen rhett o rick Nov 2015 #231

Well, according to you, Rick, maybe her supporters are trying to usher our country into fascism. zappaman Nov 2015 #155

Good question, but the more actual Democrats get to know Bernie, see Nina Turner eg sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #194
