Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI just want to make sure I have this straight (Hillary Group)
Clinton can't count on some of Bernie's supporters support if she wins the nomination, because she is taking their votes for granted/is a 3rd way oligachist/is cheating.
But it is assumed Clinton supporters will all just fall in line if he wins the nomination (Which most of us will, because we're not idiots).
That is a really weird headspace some people are occupying.

(2,565 posts)The reason Clinton doesn't get Sanders votes by default is b/c many of us are only coming back to the democratic party BECAUSE of Sanders.
If this is the party of Hillary Clinton, I will change my registration back to independent and likely vote green.
But, don't worry, I am in Cali so my vote doesn't matter.

(2,565 posts)I don't like to consider myself a democrat at all.
They have become much too corporate since the DLC and Bill Clinton.
However, I am more likely to vote for some of their candidates.

(7,143 posts)It's somehow comforting to read your admission that you don't like to consider yourself a democrat either. Likewise, I wouldn't want to consider you one.

(10,847 posts)He is running for a nomination in the Democratic party but his supporters aren't Democrats and he isn't a Democrat.
The super delegates won't support him and the majority of Democrats will support the Democrat - Hillary Clinton. His nomination is dead on arrival.

(92,396 posts)we won't vote for her. That way if Bernie does get the nomination, Hillary supporters will be so thrilled to vote for him in the GE"
yeah, logic 101, right?
A valid argument, whose conclusion is false.
Let's see how well that works out for them

Once the convention is over, hopefully people will rediscover their inner Democrat and chill the hell out.

(17,865 posts)Most will vote for the Democratic nominee.
I wouldn't worry about DU consensus. This (DU) is la-la land, not the real world.

(6,437 posts)Not out there. No one out there ever used terms like 3rd way, oligarchy, etc, etc.

(92,396 posts)Facebook pages who expressed support for Hillary, have no bearing how they would act if Hillary is the nominee
Good to know

(92,396 posts)individuals and groups are slammed because of their support of a particular candidate, those supporters and groups who have been treated in such an uncivil manner, may not have much enthusiasm for that "other" candidate in the general election.
Gee, I wonder why that would be........

(173 posts)the idea that Bernie can win a general election is naive...i was at a school meeting earlier today with
people i have never met and when last nights debate came up terms like like Trotsky , Hitler and socialism came up...

(3,212 posts)So much hate and nastiness. If they aren't Democrats, then they were going to not vote or vote for some micro party to start with.

(10,839 posts)For sure. We're suppose to ditch reality and rely on endless promises without specifics to back them up. We're suppose to chant the chant and drink the messaging that a political revolution is on the way that will sweep away the normal processes of how change in a Democratic Republic is actually accomplished, years of hard work and sweat. Because . . . Bernie Sanders has a magic wand to push all the obstacles away and will supply free milkshakes for life and pony rides. And free college, of course.
I get it. No thank you. My feet are planted on terra firm and I no more believe in Bernie's fairytales than I do Trump's bunk.
But please carry on with the fiction. And don't be shocked when the Great Vetting grinds into motion.
