It is getting very tiresome and most of the rest of us no longer care how you vote.
If people are foolish enough to vote for the Republican nominee even though they are poor red necks, there is nothing we can do for them. If they are foolish enough to vote for a third party candidate, even though they they call themselves progressives, they are beyond help. If they decide to simply not vote, that is their right as an American citizen, though I feel tht they really don't deserve the privilege.
But make no mistake, all of these groups are on the same team intent on putting a Republican in the White House, keeping Republicans in control of the Senate, and stacking the Supreme Court with very conservative justices for the next 20 years. I have absolutely no respect for any of these people because they are selfishly putting their idealism before the good of the country.
(Sanders folks, please don't think this rant is directed at you if you have not made such threats. I like Bernie Sanders and most of the people that support him. I will vote for him if he is OUR nominee.)
As for the rest of you, I am sick and tired of the threats of some (by no means all) of the Bernie people. Do what you have to do, but please quit talking about it. Such talk is useless. It is not going to persuade one Hillary supporter to vote for Bernie in the primaries; that BS just causes us to lose all respect for you.
And don't give me that tiresome baloney about trying to scare you into voting for the Democratic nominee. Hear this, I are not trying to persuade you because if you are posting such treats I already consider you a lost cause.
Just give us a break and peddle your horse manure somewhere else.
