Simple Proposal - Many here are very passionate about their candidate for POTUS

so I propose, to make things even more interesting, is that if your candidate does not win you leave DU FOREVER.

Think your candidate is the most worthy put your money where your mouth is.


So I will leave DU forever if Bernie does not win the democratic party nomination and become POTUS.

Anyone else?

If he looses I'll toss in with the Hillary camp and hold my nose all the way to the polls. It'll be trying, the gloating will be madness, the condescension horrendous....you remember? Like quite a few Obama supporters in the last time, myself (shamefully) included. I won't abandon this joint though, no reason to. I'm passionate about Bernie. I'm more passionate about continuing the fight.

Who ever wins the nomination will have a long 8 year fight with repukes if said candidate wins the general election. Why would any Democrat want to abandon the fight? If you want to leave, go ahead but most of us will stay and support the Democratic nominee for the fight ahead.

If I left the arena "forever," I wouldn't have been engaged with anyone for most of my life.

I think this might be the first time, and probably the only time, that I could see a candidate I actually wanted to be in office win a primary.

plus I have heard that you get a free toaster oven eventually for staying hear .

The Proctor Silex brand might still be a good choice .
