Bernie or Bust equals a pro-Trump movement after the convention if BS in not the nominee

[qdouble]

who do they think will win if the majority of democrats and left leaning independent don't rally around Hillary? Is anyone under the illusion that if they stay home, write-in or do anything in November other than vote for Hillary that they are not doing everything in their power to prevent Trump from being nominated?

1. Bernie or Bust is a tiny fringe just like the PUMAs were. Ignore them nt

[texstad79]

5. +1

Not enough of them to impact the election.

2. Wait.

The GOP nominated the person with the HIGHEST negatives to EVER run for President since they began polling it. The man is a moron, clown and general boob of the highest order that nobody likes. Not even in his OWN party.

Yet given all this, HRC is BARELY running even with him in the polls, so far.

And, yet, it will be the SANDERS supporters who will be at fault, if she loses!?!

Haha! Good luck with THAT narrative.

3. Sanders supporters voting for Sanders in the primaries is fine.

Sanders supporters not voting for the democratic nominee in November means that those supporters rather have Trump than Hillary... which equals Bernie or Trump. Let's call them BOTs.

[Shadowflash]

4. Haha!

Right.

I think the blame should, and will, be placed at the feet of the people who voted to nominate the ONE candidate that can't even beat the most hated person to EVER run for president.

[qdouble]

6. Nope..

The people who do everything they can to not help the opposition to Trump deserve the blame in the unlikely event that Trump wins. I'm not worried that Hillary will lose, just stating the truth that making no effort to stop Trump after the primary means that you're either pro-Trump or indifferent.

7. If you are not worried she will lose..

...what is even the point of this thread? To lay blame on people for something that isn't going to happen?


Also, see reply number 5. Our numbers are, apparently, not enough to make any difference, (according to that poster and a LOT of others I see) so you can't really lay the blame at our feet, can you?

9. If ALL of Sanders supporters don't vote for Hillary she will lose...

However, after Bernie drops out and supports her and when Obama and other popular dems come out and support her... and when everyone gets reminded of all the batshit insane stuff that Trump has said... I seriously doubt Hillary will lose.

However, even if there is only 10-20 percent chance of Trump winning, we shouldn't take it for granted and not act like it is dangerous for Democrats to sit out of this election because of sour grapes. Stating the facts that not voting against Trump means that you're either pro-Trump or indifferent doesn't mean that I'm preemptively blaming them, I'm just stating the facts.

11. The FACT is

that we are in the process of nominating a candidate that, so far, is going to struggle to beat the most moronic and hated person to run for president since they started polling.

I did my best to AVOID this situation and voted for Sanders in the primary. The rest is on you.

[qdouble]

12. So you're for trying to prevent Trump becoming president before the end of the primaries

but not after if your favorite candidate loses?

8. Did you know there are 8 states

Where a write in is given full weight just like a name listed on a ballot? Those states are Vermont, Wyoming, Oregon, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Iowa, Delaware, and Alabama. Thirty-five states require that a write-in candidate must submit some form of affidavit and, sometimes, a filing fee at least one month before the election. Only 7 states ignore write ins. I personally feel writing in Sanders makes perfectly good sense.

[qdouble]

10. I never made an argument that write-in votes wouldn't be counted...

I specifically asked is if anyone was under the illusion that Bernie would win the election via write-ins? If you know that writing in Bernie is not going to give him any realistic chance of winning, it simply means that you are not doing everything you can to make sure Trump doesn't get elected after the primary.... which would be to vote for the democratic nominee. No one else will have a serious chance.

13. It means I will not allow the DNC to coerce me

after they failed to do everything they could to make sure Trump isn't elected. They mistakenly believe a "D" by my name makes me their puppet and a brick in their firewall. They are mistaken. It's called being on the record.

[qdouble]

14. So if your preferred candidate doesn't win...

you're perfectly fine with Trump becoming president? Or you just don't care what happens to our country if Bernie loses?

[catnhatnh]

15. Why don't you worry about your motivations for this post

and let me deal with mine? Because my motivations are none of your fucking business.

[qdouble]

18. If your motivations are none of my fucking business, why in the fuck are you asking me about mine?

Hypocrite much?

[catnhatnh]

19. I did no such thing

try reading for comprehension...

[qdouble]

20. I confused you with another poster...

If you don't want to state your motivation, it's fine. Being extremely rude because you were asked a question on a message board is still uncalled for... but do you.
