A special request to some of my fellow Bernie supporters

Some people (from both sides) are saying, "I will vote for____ when ____."

But they mean this: "I would vote for ____ if ____."

Or, "When _____ happens, we will _____." When they mean....

"If _____ happens, we should."

Also, "If ______ wins the nomination, I will ____"

We need to be more conscious about what we say, words matter. I've done it myself and have to slow down a bit.

Maybe I'm but it bugs me.

Maybe it's but humor me anyway
