Mon May 16, 2016, 09:47 AM
May 2016

They like to use PUMA as an insult to Clinton supporters, but the reality is, it is the Sanders people that are 2016 PUMAs. Anyway, at least three posts are newbies lecturing why they won't vote in the Democratic party. Except the first comments they make are they are not Democrats, have never voted Democrats, yet are telling Democrats how we keep them in our party. By tearing down our Democratic party and electing a non Democrat to represent all the non Democrats now in our party.

Truly is mind boggling.

These people aren't even the PUMA of 2016. They are merely Republican, Libertarian and baggers that never vote Dem.

And then you complain about being called bullies. It seems over and over we get this idea that unless the party has to somehow see that Bernie is right and we need to support him or lose his supporters. Over and over again I see aggressive tactics by Sanders supporters cheered. But how DARE anyone push back!

Much the way we have here on DU, which is why Hillary supports have gone after them much more in recent weeks. It's plainly obvious that the most rabid among them will never support anyone but Sanders. (And some will even go as far as voting for Trump just to 'prove' themselves right.)

Apparently in your world, the only people who vote for Clinton are those who like money and power? You might want to broaden your world view. It is nice to feel you win discussions, but making up facts to win is not really a victory. You are just fooling yourself.

You may not like money and power, but she does. Her top donors, the interests that have made her and her husband insanely rich, they like money and power, and they know when they give her all that money that their money and power will be maintained. It doesn't matter if you mean to support that, your vote does.

Ego driven bullies double down.

Boxer is awesome.

"Do they even want to fucking win."

We did win even with a bunch of bullies trying to subvert the will of the people. Boxers strength and willingness to fight for the people is a big reason the people's voice has been heard. The Sanders campaign is trying to steal the election. They will fail.
