Hillary wants me to vote for her.

She is going to have to work to get my vote.

As it stands, I am planning to vote for Bernie.

Vote for Bernie because I like where he's coming from.

I am not anti-Clinton, but I am pro-Bernie.

Hillary could convince me to happily vote for her in the primary, but as it stands right now, Bernie gets my vote.

And as a solid Democrat who has spent a lot on time, money and political capital on getting out the vote and supporting Democrats, it rubs me the wrong way to have folks tell me, or even insinuate that I am not a good Democrat because I am not happy with Hillary.

In the meantime, imo, the bitter infighting needs to come to an end. Given the recent DU polls showing an overwhelming number of DUers in support of Bernie, it behooves those supporters to be extra kind to the minority?

The irony is that while our party is lucky to have the luxury of choosing between four high quality candidates;, the opposition with around twenty candidates, does not have one qualified enough to run this country. We should appreciate that and keep our support for our candidates at a civilized level.

While I do intend to vote for Bernie in the primary, any of the others would be fine if they win. What we should remember when tearing down other candidates, we are helping the repugs by giving them material to use against our party and they get enough help already from the likes of the Koch brothers.

I would hope people take notice of your words and can find a way to apply them to their posting history on DU.
