Reply #31: There's really nothing to be done about people who are determined

[Lyric]

that they won't vote for Candidate X under any circumstances. There are Clinton supporters who swear they won't vote for Obama *ever*, and Obama supporters who swear that they'll drop him like a hot potato if he chooses Clinton as his VP. They're both of the same ilk, and should rightly be ignored.

I agree that we all need to get behind the nominee, but I also recognize that the people who've supported Clinton all this time deserve to be assured that their concerns and thoughts aren't going to be ignored just because they "lost". That's the kind of attitude that tears the party apart more savagely than either candidate's actions alone ever could.

Democrats don't treat each other like we treat Repukes, and yet...that's exactly what's been happening. Until that stops, healing will come slowly and incompletely, if at all.
