2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: NOT a "loyalty oath" or pledge, or a "demand", just curious as to where we currently stand. [View all]bklyncowgirl
(7,960 posts)I've supported plenty of losing candidates in my day. Most of the time I've been able to get on board with the Democratic nominee. I was a Dean supporter but voting for and even working for Kerry was easy--I was heartbroken when he lost. Likewise Al Gore--I voted for Bradley but it was easy to vote for Gore. Other times it was much harder. I was a Brown supporter in 92 but the dirty campaign the Clintons ran against my guy was a real turn off. I could have voted for Perot had he been viable. Instead I held my nose and voted for Clinton. I could see the same thing happening again--I could even see myself working for Hillary if I see signs that she actually gives a damn about people who work for a living. So far, unfortunately I'm not seeing it. Sorry but I'm not on board yet.
