Not to mention the SCOTUS, environment etc. It must be nice to be so comfortable that you don't need to worry about things like that.

I know a lot of people that would be greatly affected by a Trump presidency in a very negative way.

We cannot afford a Trump presidency

particular, do not have the luxury and are not in a position to "take changes" voting for a candidate that we don't think neither has a viable chance nor is capable of getting things done. This particular argument has been made over and over again. Few listened and now we see what's happening.

And no, they are not Democrats - never were, and never will be.

to do something about it while there's still time (ie: nominate Sanders), while in the next breath they say they'll vote for Trump over Hillary.

So, stopping Trump is entirely up to the Hillary supporters, correct?

Look what a rush of involvement did to the GOP with the Tea party.
I don't think the kids realize yet they can take over the Democratic Party if they are willing to do the work over a period of years.

The armchair warriors think that change happens overnight and that all they have to do to make it happen is (figuratively and literally) yell a lot. And they do yell.

Hell, they don't even *vote*, but they think they can start a revolution.

"I'm voting for Bernie because only he can beat Trump!"
"Why can't Hillary beat Trump?"
"Because we won't vote for her!"
"Soooo...you won't vote for Hillary because you won't vote for Hillary?"
