supporters of both of the wonderful Democratic candidates.
And please do not give Sister the canned reply of "I don't answer hypothetical questions" bull caca. If your candidate does not win the nomination of the Democratic Party, will you vote the for winner?
If not, please explain why you would help a pig like Trump or any of the caca bags Republicans take the White House.

I must need new glasses. I pray to my boss I don't have to get those ones like Sister Clara Vision. Coke bottles, dear Coke bottles.

(145,558 posts)If Sanders is the nominee, I will support him but I am hoping that Clinton will be the nominee. Sanders is a good man and is far superior as a human being and candidate to either Trump, Rubio, or Carnival Cruz

(46,179 posts)1. I won't be considering my GE vote until after the Democratic Convention; feel free to ask me then. At this time, I am focused on nominating someone I can enthusiastically vote FOR, instead of holding my nose to vote for a lesser evil.
2a. The perennial debate about what my vote means: I vote for things and I vote for people. I don't ever NOT vote. I always show up. Well, in reality, I "show up" in the mail, since that's how my state votes. My vote is always for the best candidate on my ballot. If, in rare instances the "best" candidate is a lesser evil that I don't consider to be all that "lesser," I'll write in a better candidate.
2b. My vote is just that. It's MINE. I don't owe my vote to anyone. I educate myself, evaluate my choices, and make the best choice I think I can make. That makes me a responsible citizen whether you agree with my vote/s or not. I don't answer to you, nor to anyone else. I'm choosing to take you at your word and give you real answers to your questions; do with them what you will.
3. If you are worried about Republican pigs and shit bags, I suggest you get to work helping nominate someone who can beat them. Happily, my candidate polls better against them all than his opponent does.
4a. If Democrats choose to nominate someone who can't bring people to the polls in November, then those Democrats are accountable for the loss. If we're throwing names around, I've got some choice names for those who won't accept responsibility for their own choice of candidate, who think they need to scapegoat others who don't join them. I don't play the blame game.
4b. That's called democracy with a small "d." Where people have the right to make their own choice when voting. Bullying voters is neither democratic nor worthy of respect.
