(2,008 posts)The same can be said for any democratic candidate. Most of us fear each will cost us votes of some segment or other.
Your post could have, and should have said " If Bernie Sanders is the nominee, I FEAR rump will get a 2nd term (and America will be over). It's your fear that made you post that. Others who agree with you fear the same. Those of us who disagree are clearly more open minded and accepting, but also fearful.
I've noted a lot of Bernie"haters" at DU, perhaps because he's an independent rather than an avowed Democrat, or perhaps because he's a challenge to the status quo. He's not my choice but I'd vote for him in a heartbeat...no matter who, vote blue !!!
The pendulum swings. One of my profound observations and favorite expressions. Its' momentum allowed for rump to get elected. I see it swinging in the other direction, to someone who will be the antithesis of him. He certainly motivates and fires up a large number of people who will turn out to vote for him.
And shame on Hillary for bashing him too.
Your post made me wish du had a Not recommended button as well as a recommended.
I understand your fears, but it's not a helpful or hopeful post.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
