If Hillary gets the nomination, you know what will happen that very minute?

[whatchamacallit]

Just like that, everyone will love and respect Bernie Sanders again. Miraculously, all the bogus characterizations and disgusting smears will go POOF, and the message will suddenly change to "understanding and reconciliation". Praise for Bernie's long and outstanding record will be peppered into the heartfelt pleas for the necessity of unity and mission... "It's what this good man would want..." Then a blood covered reptilian hand will reach out to bring you into the fold.

Hahaha couldn't help that last bit

[VanillaRhapsody]

1. WELL....he "is a Democrat..now"

[sufrommich]

2. It will be Sanders giving the "pleas for the necessity of unity and mission"

if Hillary wins.That's a given.

[whatchamacallit]

3. We'll see

He's certainly big enough to do it, tho I imagine he'd throw up a little in his own mouth.

[monmouth4]

5. God knows I will...n/t

[Vattel]

4. okay, now that was funny

[merrily]

6. Are ya sure you couldn't help it? Because I'm betting it could get your OP alerted on.

[whatchamacallit]

7. No doubt

but I'd be curious on what basis.

[merrily]

8. Your assumption that a basis is a prerequisite is charming and disarming.

[whatchamacallit]

11. ;)

[Fumesucker]

9. All that hippy dippy economic liberalism shit will depart with the speed of a bullet train

Leaving only a swirl of paisley print position papers and a slight hint of patchouli.

[whatchamacallit]

10. Haha indeed

[Art_from_Ark]

28. LOL

[Eric J in MN]

39. Yes. We'll learn her real position on Social Security

...is to cut it with Chained CPI.

[JoePhilly]

12. Na ...

... just more teeth gnashing.

[whatchamacallit]

13. Stay tuned n/t

[Gloria]

14. Maybe...with respect to non -leaders...

For many of the rank and file, the bloom is off the rose...

[SoCalMusicLover]

15. The repubs Will Cheer!!

Hillary's views won't really matter much, because if she's the nominee, we're probably going to lose the election.

But let her have her shot at it, she's wanted that her whole life, so let he see for real how the American people feel about another Clinton presidency.

If Clinton is elected next November, I'll admit how wrong I was. Otherwise, I'm sure DU will be filled with Sanders voters saying "We told you so."

Sanders is an unknown, but his negatives are low. Clinton is known, but her negatives are high, and there is a % of voters who will NEVER vote for her.

Don't expect any apologies from the Clinton supporters if she fails to win the general election. I'm sure there will be plenty of excuses though, but who cares....the result will be a disaster.

[whatchamacallit]

16. I'm sure they'll blame

white supremacist berniebros for everything.

[randys1]

27. If I said what you said about Bernie I would get a hide, guaranteed. This is a perfect

example of just how fucked up things are here.

just the endless attacks of HIllary, wow

[Cassiopeia]

53. There is a % of non voters

who will wait through long lines to vote against her.

[cosmicone]

17. I am glad you are thinking ahead

I'll let them know to not use a reptilian hand .. especially a blood-covered one since you've volunteered to join the fold.

[whatchamacallit]

18. I'm beyond it's cold grasp

[cosmicone]

22. Even Bernie will be endorsing Hillary .. just saying. n/t

[whatchamacallit]

31. Bernie will do as Bernie sees fit

As will I. No one's endorsement will influence my decision.

[JaneyVee]

19. He'll campaign for Hillary?

[whatchamacallit]

20. At best he'll endorse her

because campaigning for her would betray his core beliefs.

[Fawke Em]

23. Mine too!

[hack89]

42. Being a good Democrat he will do what he can to help the party.

I think it is a given he will campaign for HRC. That's what Democrats do for each other once a nominee has been chosen.

[Prism]

21. I'll stop giving a shit about the general

The instant she wins, I stop caring. Weird, right?

"Amg, you guys. Why don't you vote for a Democrat who will maintain our shitty path forward, where the middle class disintegrates, and racial minorities disappear into poverty!?"

OMG! Why don't I?!

This party, I swear.

[Fawke Em]

24. THIS!!

[whatchamacallit]

25. I feel ya

really do :/

[randys1]

29. You wont care, so we will have to care just that much more.

[Prism]

34. *stares*

Older white person with money lectures minorities what they should care about.

Hmmmm. No.

[randys1]

36. I am not lecturing anyone, I am simply saying someone has to care...

[Prism]

61. Caring implies listening

Just a hint. Empathy doesn't mean actually including oneself in a struggle.

[beam me up scottie]

50. Prism I just have to tell you something...

[Prism]

60. I feel like I'm in an alien world

Where very white, very upper middle class people have decided minority rights are their hobby, and so they're going to let the rest of us know how it goes.

I want to say, "Hmmm, no."

But that's like 50% of DU right now. Because, you know, Clinton.

How much did I love straight people explaining DOMA to me last week? So much.

[whatchamacallit]

64. Nailed n/t

[Capt. Obvious]

67. "I dont understand the question"

[senz]

65. I agree with bmus, Prism.

You seem like a good person.

[Prism]

49. Yes, care for me.

That's your schtick, it steams.

I want a straight white male with money to explain to me how I should feel about my community's issues.

Thank god you're here.

[randys1]

69. Ahh but the WE includes many minorities, Gays, etc. I am not in this alone, thank god.

Includes a few white guys too.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. If it's like that,

I will be surprised. I am bracing myself for several days of gloating.

[1StrongBlackMan]

30. Isn't that what is supposed to happen after the primaries? ...

The Party closes rank around the nominee and we focus on kicking the stuffing out of the republican candidate?

[whatchamacallit]

32. My membership in "the party" ends with Bernie

What I do in the GE ain't nobody's business but my own.

[1StrongBlackMan]

33. And I suspect it began there too. n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

35. LOL

No kidding.

[redstateblues]

59. I detect some Nader apostles in this thread

Of course very few admit it

[1StrongBlackMan]

68. Would they to be so pure? n/t

[whatchamacallit]

62. Your assumption

is shit. No surprise tho.

[cwydro]

40. So I'm getting the impression you'll be happy with a President Cruz, Carson, or Trump.

Very sad.

[hack89]

44. What if Bernie stays in the party?

That's pretty likely don't you think?

[peacebird]

37. Hillary will openly revert to her center right policies?

[Eric J in MN]

38. Bingo.

The day Hillary Clinton gets a lock on the Democratic nomination will be the day she:

Supports cutting Social Security with Chained CPI.

Supports trade deals such as NAFTA and the TPP.

Reveals that she was kidding about getting-tough-on-Wall-Street.

[Armstead]

51. No she'll just shut up on those issues, and talk about women and families and taking responsibility

[ibegurpard]

41. I was just going to say

She will drop any pretense at supporting progressive policy. However, like Obama, we won't see that until...or even IF... she's elected.

[840high]

43. +1

[MerryBlooms]

Sick of this shit here. This kind of childish shit is making DU suck 24/7

[Android3.14]

70. Thanks Mary

I see the Thought Police are out in force. Or is that Citizens United contributions at work?

The frivolous alert stalking is a sad echo of HRC and the vindictive nature of her campaign.

[UglyGreed]

46. and you know it's gonna leave a mark

[MineralMan]

47. Yes. We'll know who the President will be for the next four years.

[treestar]

48. This is pointless

convinces no one of anything.

[NuclearDem]

52. I know I'll be doing quite a bit of grave dancing.

And thoroughly enjoying it.

[Aerows]

54. We'll reluctantly and half-heartedly vote for her.

Woo-hoo. I get to vote for the person that is better than insane Republicans.

Meanwhile, I'll do everything possible to prevent that from happening.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

55. Maybe. But, we count on blaming the Left is she loses the GE.

[RobertEarl]

58. That's what they will say...

They will say the Left voted for the republican and that's why H lost. Like they blamed the Left for bush.

If Hillary wins the primary I will feel sorry for her supporters, for they have a task that can not be done. And DU will wither away.

[quickesst]

56. Have to laugh....

...at some of bernie's supporters here for thinking what they do or don't do actually means something in the larger scheme of things. It's like someone says, "I'm not voting for Clinton", and they expect an earth shattering response from the multitudes of people aghast at this revelation. "EGOS GONE WILD", coming soon to a theater near you.

[hootinholler]

57. I thought you were gonna say whiplash

From heads following the snap back to the right.

[senz]

66. Wonder if

that "blood covered reptilian hand" belonged to whoever alerted on your OP?

I liked the last line; it had a surprise element that made me laugh.

Thanks, and hang in there.
