Some Bernie fans seem to be losing hope and are announcing they will vote for...

[CajunBlazer]

....the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.

I had never heard of her so I had to do some reading. Jill Stein is as qualified to be President as Ben Carson. Like Carson she is physician.

She has run for several offices - Massachusetts House of Representatives, Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth, Governor of Massachusetts, and President of the United States on Green Party ticket in 2012. She lost each of those races by very large margins.

However, in 2005 she did manage to win 539 votes and get herself elected as one of 21 Town Meeting Representatives in her home town of Lexington, Massachusetts. Lexington has a huge population of 31,394. She was reelected to that post in 2008.

With all of that experience I can see why some believe that she is totally qualified to be President of the United States and leader of the free world.

1. Jill Stein?! What!? Good Grief.. can't wait for Hillary to be President!

[misterhighwasted]

11. To Cha!

[Cha]

12. Hey Aloha, mister!

to Hillary~

[misterhighwasted]

2. Another future to believe in. Who said Bernie doesn't have

coattails.
They've never aligned with Dems anyway so why start now.

[SunSeeker]

3. Why is anyone advocating voting third party on DEMOCRATIC Underground?

And who in their right mind would throw away their vote on an unqualified person like Jill Stein? It would have the same effect as it they voted for the GOP.

[DesertFlower]

4. good question. actually i know the answer they

don't want hillary and will take the chance of losing the election to a republican.

[shenmue]

5. Yep

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Bernie Bro is a slur meant to paint Sanders supporters as racist and misogynist. It's an internet myth made up just to smear Sanders supporters. It has no place on DU.

To me, it seems like a Hillary supporter made a comment in support of Hillary in the Hillary Clinton forum.
That's to be expected, isn't it?
For info; I'm still on the fence between Bernie and Hillary, although no matter which one gets the nomination, that's who I will vote for.

19. Because calling BS supporters berniebros is verboten,

but calling Secretary Clinton a liar, a murderer, HiLIARy, Shillary, $hillary and tell her to go f&%k herself with a brick etc is just fine.

The hypocrisy, it burns (or should I say it berns?)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. In other words

They can dish it out but can't take it.

[CajunBlazer]

25. I was thinking that last night

I have never seen group of people who are so sensitive and so easily insulted.

[SharonClark]

29. And so quick to insult others

[Cha]

20. SILENCE THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS. SILENCE THEM. CENSOR THEM.

[72DejaVu]

21. Calling Bernie Bros BernieBros gets you hidden

Announcing your support for the GOP funded Green Party get you a pat on the back.

[jsmirman]

8. Yes, I don't understand why that doesn't result

in one hidden post after another. That is clearly contrary to the stated rules of the website.

"advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground."

Seems pretty clear to me.

[lovemydog]

13. My hunch is that some

are trolling this site. For republicans or against democrats. Doesn't really matter. Either way, it's tons of hysteria against democrats

[CajunBlazer]

26. I don't think we have look for Republican trolls

It take only one troll make the original alert, but you can't fill out a jury pool with trolls; there is only one source of this madness.

[Lil Missy]

6. They should find another website then. n/t

[Aristus]

9. Jesus. The new Naderites have arrived...

[Blue Idaho]

10. If they lose hope this easily

Chances are they won't be voting for anyone in November.

[TomCADem]

15. Crazy! Abandoning Bernie for the Green Party? Sounds Like B.S.

Particularly when Bernie has been coming on strong as of late.

[Cha]

17. he can come on as strong as he likes.. he's not going to win.

[CajunBlazer]

27. He might be coming on strong...

...but some are starting to figure out that he will probably fall short

[book_worm]

16. That's because they were never democrats to begin with.

[artyteacher]

22. exactly.

[sharp_stick]

23. There are a significant chunk

of Sanders supporters, aka the Berniebros, that have never been Democrats and never will be.
The sooner they slink off the sooner we can get to winning the general.

[pandr32]

28. Good grief!

[MSMITH33156]

30. Actually it now seems

like Super Delegates are their best friends.

After complaining that these Superdelegates were going to hand Hillary the nomination, for months, they've now realized that she is going to win with the votes, and arguing that even if she's ahead, if she's sort of the necessary delegates, that the super delegates should hand Bernie the nomination.

Bernie himself argued this this morning.

Also, Jake, I would say that, as the campaign progresses and if, if we do well in a number of states, and if the general sentiment becomes that Bernie Sanders is the candidate who will defeat Donald Trump -- and all of the polls -- virtually all of the polls have me doing better against Trump than Hillary Clinton -- I think a lot of those superdelegates who are today pledged to Hillary Clinton may say, what's most important is defeating Trump or the Republican nominee. Bernie Sanders is the candidate to do that. We're going to swing over to Bernie.

The audacity of complaining for months that the super delegates were going to override the will of the voters and then coming out now and asking super delegates to do just that, to disenfranchise all of us that have supported Hillary, to hand him the nomination is unbelievable.

[CajunBlazer]

31. +1000

Great point. Actually the only thing that can possibly keep Hillary from locking up the nomination before the convention is the super delegates. Consider that if the super
delegates didn't exist and only pledged delegates counted, in a two person race the person with the most pledged delegates after all of the primaries and caucuses are over is automatically the winner. Given the proportional nature of the delegate splitting, once one candidate is well ahead, as Hillary is now, it is very difficult for the opponent to catch up.

However, to cinch the nomination before the convention without the super delegates, a candidate has to win not only half of all of the pledged delegates +1, but also enough additional pledged candidates to equal half of the super delegates. That is a higher hill to climb.

However, if Hillary enters the convention with any kind of a pledged delegate lead, there is no way that the super delegates are going to suddenly give the nomination to a non-Democrat. I have my doubts whether they would give the nomination to Sanders if he had the pledged delegate lead entering the convention - but that isn't going to happen.

Bernie is singing the song of a beaten candidate.
