Raw Story
Appearing on MSNBC, former Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich cautioned that Hillary Clinton is going to need to do something to attract Bernie Sanders voters if she has any chance to beat Donald Trump, whom he called the most dangerous presidential candidate weve had.
At the end of the day, there has got to be a unified Democratic party, Reich told host Steve Kornacki. But there is still a way to go to the convention, and even if Hillary Clinton is assumed or presumed candidate, if her polls keep falling, if her polls show Bernie Sanders is much stronger against Donald Trump, well, we dont know. There are so many Bernie Sanders supporters who tell me, whove been trying to tell them [the superdelegates] to support the nominee, whoever the nominee is, that theyre not going to vote for Hillary Clinton, then Hillary Clinton is going to definitely do something to get the Bernie Sanders voters.

At some point you need to take personal responsibility for your actions. Given the stakes in the general election you have to make a choice what you are going to do.
If remaining on some high moral ground so as to not be able to vote for someone less of a person than you is important than stay home.
If life in this country for working class people is as important as you say it is, don't turn it over to Trump.
Each side has to give up something to defeat Trump.

(3,343 posts)You should vote for a nominee that polls the best against the opponent and is not widely a disliked and distrusted... Someone that appeals to independents who are necessary to win. Someone who isn't reliant on massive corporate donors to finance their campaign. Someone who isn't seen as corrupt and out of touch. Someone with policies that inspire.
That's what would be responsible, if the ACTUAL goal is winning in November.
Or just keep supporting Hillary.

(24,376 posts)Fuck his policies. I didn't support Hillary only to adopt stupid policies that would never pass the Congress and that would run up the debt by trillions if they were ever enacted.
I vote Hillary adopt 0% of Sanders' policies.
