some of sanders supporters will not vote for hillary.

[DesertFlower]

no surprise but still upsetting. if you're a democrat you vote for the nominee.

there's an article from 6 hours ago but i can't link it. talks about the conditions bernie expects from hillary if she wants his support.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

1. They're probably not Democrats

A number of Sanders supporters in GDP admit to being Socialists or Greens.

[KittyWampus]

15. and some don't have the guts to admit to being Ron Paul fanbois

[KitSileya]

20. Yes. Pretty much all my friends who support Sanders supported Paul before.

They don't see the disconnect between supporting a libertarian and supporting a socialist. However, I guess the thing they have in common is that they are good for white people in liberal Oregon - the rest of the country not so much.

[Treant]

2. So they say.

Many will come around as election day approaches and Donald Trump becomes a frightening reality.

Some aren't Democrats, don't vote Democrat, have never voted Democrat, and we never had them in the first place. No loss, they'll claim they voted for Obama to try and sound relevant, but they didn't.

Some--a very few--really mean it and will stay home. But that would be true no matter who's the nominee and the magnitude is no greater than the reverse if Sanders were nominated.

At its heart, it's a scare tactic to try to get people to support Sanders and nothing more. Like most scare tactics, it deserves only the most base of answers that I can't repeat here. But I'm sure thinking it.

3. We will have to get the 1st female president all by our lonesome

Which is really not that lonesome!

4. here's a more recent link talking about

conditions.

5. I don't remember Hillary setting conditions to the Obama campaign....

what hubris he has,

[Walk away]

22. Well, to be fair, Hillary wasn't trying to destroy the Democratic party!

She was just an actual Democrat running for the nomination of a party she has supported for over 40 years.

[Basic LA]

6. If you're a Democrat, yes.

But are they?

[quickesst]

7. Here is what I find...

... WTF-ish. It just seems weird to see those who will not vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the nominee get on this board and tell everyone how scary the DerTrumpenfeuhrer is, and how he's going to destroy our country out of one side of their mouth, then say they will not vote for the Democratic nominee if it's Hillary out of the other side.How the hell do they reconcile that bullshit? I will say it and I don't think it's out of line. Anyone who believes Hillary is as bad as Trump, is either being willfully ignorant, with a heaping helping of selfish ego, or dumber than a box of rocks.

[DesertFlower]

8. i agree. nt

[Quayblue]

10. I am gonna go ahead and agree with you there. nt

[quickesst]

19. What are they going to do...

... when Hillary wins the nomination? Are they going to suddenly stop attacking Trump? Really, if they are going to not vote for a democrat in the general election, we shouldn't have to sit here and listen to them cry, piss, and moan about something they could have had a part in stopping. If, er, when Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee, one can only hope they will do the honorable thing and leave DU, which as I understand it, is a place for Democrats to support other Democrats, and not a place to bemoan an independent's failed campaign who switched to democrat for convenience sake. This is a specific group I'm talking about and it does not include all of Bernie's supporters.

9. Free country

They are free to vote for whomever they wish; for good reason, bad reason or no reason.

[Starry Messenger]

11. If you can't even vote defensively against the right-wing, you are no ally of ours.

[CajunBlazer]

12. The 14% BernieOrBust voters make up only a small percentage of Ameridcan Voteres

And even a good percentage of them will come around.

Most of those who will vote for the totally unqualified Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, haven't voted for Democratic nominees in a long time.

While polls showing that Hillary will beat Trump are too early to be truly meaningful, they are also not flukes. Almost a quarter of normally Republican voters claim they will not vote for Trump. While some white male workers who call themselves independents will probably vote for Trump, the cross over vote for Hillary will more than make up for those loses and the "Bernie or Bust" crowd.

13. They'll just go back to voting Green, or whatever.

I mean, people actually voted for Nader. Today, those same voters, never stop to think how they helped to defeat Gore (even though Gore won.) There's a blind naivete in that type of thinking that boggles the mind. I can accept that in 18 year old kids, but not in middle aged folks.

[Her Sister]

14. one Nader voter !

Bill Maher apologizes for supporting Ralph Nader

audio not great but could not find better

[Skid Rogue]

16. LOL! Thank you. That was great.

Isn't he for Sanders? Oh, well...

Some people are highly susceptible to sloganeering. It seems to be a character trait.

[Her Sister]

17. Yes! but says will vote for HRC in the General!

Bill Maher: Clinton and Sanders fans’ attacks on one another ‘is gonna be the death of liberals’

[DesertFlower]

18. the night before that election my friend

and i talked about voting for nader, but knew it would be the wrong thing to do.

[sweetloukillbot]

21. I voted for Nader in 2000

I bought the line from Michael Moore, I didn't think Clinton had the balls to stand up for what was right and was too willing to compromise. I thought there wouldn't be much difference between Bush and Gore.
I learned how wrong I was on 9/11. And while it is easy to blame Katherine Harris, or Justice Rehnquist, it was absolutely Nader and the people who fell for the line that there was no difference between the Republicans and Democrats who cost Gore the Presidency.
But I also remember the hope I felt when Clinton was elected, it was the end of the Reagan/Bush years and I was full of idealism - and absolutism, and that was something that fueled my anger in 2000.

[Surya Gayatri]

23. Ay, but here's the rub: "IF YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT..."

Seek no further for a reason...they're NOT.
