You don't like it but that's tough. It's the system we got.
Until you do the work to change it, get together with others and come up with a platform and a political party and put your ideas on the ballot.
It will take a long time and be a very difficult task.

Thanks, but no thanks.

(1,446 posts)use them to decide that Hillary is a demon. Only one of these labels is even remotely true, and certainly not to an extreme.
I have gone out of my way to educate myself on Sanders policy positions and main issues. You'd think any educated voter would do the same before choosing a candidate.

(1,000 posts)Can you think of something else to lecture us about, tell us what we should and shouldn't do, who we should support and why. I think this has all been covered. It has now become boring, expected, and tedious.
We will get to the end of this with or without this unnecessary drivel - so how about without !!!!!

(13,431 posts)There are plenty of sites like FR who welcome people willing to trash the Dem party and its nominee. I suspect many of the people saying those things here will feel right at home at sites like that one.

Thank you.

(3,473 posts)the Will of the People and just install him as the nominee. Both Secretary Clinton and tRump have worked hard and are getting their nominations the old fashioned way ... by getting the votes of the people.
After Tuesday, it will be time to get behind Secretary Clinton and beat tRump.

(55,981 posts)We don't play that game. We dont have to accept it. Your arrogance is quite silly actually. Hands on your hips demanding we accept your "chosen one". We will fight for the 99% while you grovel before the Wealthy you so revere.
If Hillary Clinton-Sachs can't beat Trump, it's on you for nominating her and thinking you could demand we grovel.

(55,981 posts)It's time to bring down the system. If we let Clinton win she will continue the status quo that favors the rich at the expense of the rest of us. It's a slow death that some are advocating.
Joe the Revelator
(14,915 posts)down ticket progressives, up ticket people who aren't the two you named, write in space. I mean, I'm not advocating any of that but lets not act like Trump or Hillary own any person's vote. Votes are sacred and should be used how a person sees fit. Stop insisting that people sell out.

(36,649 posts)is if progressive Democrats didn't support the progressive Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
People who actively support not voting for Clinton are not progressives, and are not Democrats, and are tacitly supporting the fascist demagogue Trump. Those people can go fuck themselves.
