3. Sweet 16th , come soon. nt

[Actorvist]

29. its OK...he's a Trump supporter

bc only Trump wants Bernie to go indy

[Chichiri]

5. Well legally, he can't.

All but four states have laws preventing the loser of a major party primary running as an independent in the general.

[tritsofme]

32. It is likely those laws would be invalidated in federal court

if enforced against a presidential candidate.

States or even Congress have pretty limited ability to set extra-constitutional eligibility standards on federal candidates.

7. Even as a supporter of Sanders myself...

I think it's easy to see, you're on the wrong site.

We support dems here.

[farleftlib]

2. Oh boy

Let's get ammo for the purge list!!!!!

[Chichiri]

6. Oh knock it off. You know full well there will be no purging. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Like in the HCG?

[Chichiri]

11. DU is not the HCG or the BSG, you know that. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. We can be grateful for that.

[farleftlib]

12. Tell that to WillieT

and other notables.

[Chichiri]

13. Notables like (insert looooooooooooooong list of Hillary supporters who are or have been suspended)?

[farleftlib]

31. So purges do happen

And you're hoping for another loooooooooooooooooong list of Bernie supporters to get
disappeared. Talking out of both sides of the mouth is an HRC thing. Her followers emulate
that skill well.

[Scootaloo]

35. Names?

Leave out any who were banned within a few hours or days of signing up.

[SwampG8r]

36. Yeah really just one name.please

No hrc supporter.has gotten the permanent ban that i know.of.

[Miles Archer]

30. There will be no purging, but...

...Sanders and his supporters also will not be "fair game" on the 16th. I'd start planning for that now and post whatever other polls you think you need to post.

[jillan]

4. Flamebait. Berners let it sink.

[Chichiri]

10. Based on your sig, I'm guessing...

...you'll work the superdelegates on Bernie's behalf?

[pacalo]

26. Exactly!

[Chichiri]

15. Back him how? Call SDs? Send money? Post on Facebook and DU? nt

[Chichiri]

18. That . . . didn't answer my question. What form will your backing take, is what I'm asking. nt

[LP2K12]

19. You're on the wrong site...

It is written into the Terms of Service, which you agreed to when you joined:

Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. ... For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side.

[LP2K12]

21. You said...

"I sure wont back Clinton."

So, who will you back once she is nominee?

[LP2K12]

25. Understood.

Thank you for explaining your position.

[GP6971]

16. So if Clinton is the nominee

what are you going to do?

[baldguy]

22. So far, half will try to overturn the will of the people - so much for supporting fair elections.

[LP2K12]

24. They can't follow the TOS on a site like DU...

You expect them to support fair elections?

[Lazy Daisy]

27. I voted other

because I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing now. Thanks for the smug post, it reaffirms my thoughts about Hillary. If her supporters are so full of themselves that they think it's OK to post things like this, insults veiled as "was just wondering" they've got to get it from somewhere.

Yes Hillary will probably win the primary, and yes she will probably win the GE. But when she sticks it to us and hard, I'll still hand you a tissue to wipe your tears. Cause I'm good like that.

[Chichiri]

34. What are you doing now? nt

[joshcryer]

28. I'll be shocked if this happens.

And I'll actively contribute to Al Giordano's campaign.

[Bjornsdotter]

33. Well....

....I've been thinking of raising all of our prices in the states with every poster who asks what Bernie supporters will do after Tuesday.



Seriously...nothing. I'm going to watch how everything plays out.

[LWolf]

37. Other:

1, 2, and half of 3.

How interesting that the responders for the "igore" response are not those you asked.

[JudyM]

38. Looking at the names who voted that they'd ignore Bernie, I'm stunned to learn of all these closet

"Bernie supporters!"
