I have been told if I vote for Bernie...

That I am "wasting my vote, that to vote for Bernie, is a vote for a Republican!" That I must be a Hillary Hater!!! That I am not a real DEMOCRAT that I must be a independent that, a vote for Bernie is a vote for a socialist and that I am a Republican troll on DU trying to stir the pot. That I must be a fucking dreamer....I should take my opinion else where...that people of color will not vote for Bernie.... That Asians don't vote anyway...

okay fine...guess what??

My vote is going to


(I will not be harassed any longer)

Anyone with me????

love you! <3 Peace, Yui

[ZM90]

1. I'm with you. I'm feeling the Bern and we ARE going to elect Bernie Sanders

as the next President of the United States of America.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

128. Yes and Bernie appeals to voters across the political spectrum

which is healthy for the country

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

152. Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

[Lunabell]

2. Well Hell!

If he wins the nomination, then he is the candidate. END OF STORY!

[LiberalArkie]

71. If Bernie is allowed to win the nomination, there will be a lot of HRC voters who

will not show up for the general election. I know more HRC supporters in 2008 that never showed up for the general than did. They preferred McCain to win that that "lying ni****" win. Of course this was the Little Rock area though. Other areas may have been different. So this election I see the "n" word replaced by Socialist or Communist and the same script used. I am just happy I am retired and don't have to be around them any more except for the occasional phone call. The red button on the phone handles the call pretty well.

[yuiyoshida]

85. MY Asian girlfriend agrees with you!

She is voting for Bernie too...."Go Bernie!"

[Bubzer]

76. You've been told some pretty caustic crap. No one here should have to deal with that.

It doesn't matter who anyone here is voting for, bashing them for their choice is just not okay.
I'm glad you've chosen to take a stand... though I truly wish it hadn't been necessary.

I'm totally with you!

[yuiyoshida]

78. Sankyooo verrry much!

7. I know...

I won't be harassed any longer...and my vote still goes to

[ZM90]

8. They should not harass you just because you won't vote for their chosen candidate.

It's about like the people the Republicans send to the polling stations to harass minorities come election time...

[marym625]

10. We're constantly accused of harassing the chosen one

And her supporters, while being told Sanders and his supporters are not subjected to the same level of harassment. It's kinda weird, what people see. Or, more accurately, what they allow themselves to see

[ZM90]

11. Indeed. n/t.

[merrily]

183. What they CLAIM to have seen. Not necessarily what they saw.

[marym625]

And by voting for Bernie of course

[marym625]

21. HEE HEE!

Too cool!

[sarge43]

35. Bernie's song, our song

[n2doc]

15. The smell of desperation is strong

People who were supporting a truly 'inevitable' , strong candidate would not need to resort to such attacks. Reminds me of last fall's attempts by the DNC to scare voters into supporting their crap hand-picked candidates.

Vote for the Bern!

[yuiyoshida]

48. I was told by a Republican....

"How is it you get to vote? You people really need to go back to China..and stop messing with our voting system. No one needs a communist-socialist in the white house anyway. Its bad enough a muslim has ruined our country after the great George W. Bush was President!"

[artislife]

56. Damn, that is cold

Yeah, minorities of all types get the go back home meme. Sorry about that. We are all together, all along the color code, too!

[yuiyoshida]

63. When he said the great George W. Bush

I burst out laughing...talk about

[Art_from_Ark]

124. Holy mushroom-induced state of delusion, Batman!

Bush? Great? I can't even put those two words together in the same sentence, unless there's a qualifier after "great"-- like "idiot" or "disaster"

[yuiyoshida]

66. Just like Bernie

America needs you! Stay!

[yuiyoshida]

69. Huh?

Where do you think I might be going? In truth, I do have some native Hawaiian blood... send me to Hawaii...i will be packed in 15 minutes!!!

[coolepairc]

139. I wanna go!

Never been to Hawaii, sounds good to me.

[yuiyoshida]

177. I'm in

[Bubzer]

79. Wow! Pardon my english, but fuck that guy! What an ass-hat!

[yuiyoshida]

80. You had to laugh after he said

"The great George W. Bush"

[Bubzer]

101. No kidding! That or roll the eyes.

[n2doc]

90. The thing I am looking forwards to when Sanders wins

Is all of these idiots losing their minds. Maybe they will be the ones to leave!

[immoderate]

16. Me!

[Egnever]

17. What difference does it make what people "tell" you

Your vote is your own. Do with it what you think is best.

The primaries are there to find the candidate the people want the most not to annoint anyone.

Anyone telling you how to vote in the primaries needs a cup of stfu

[yuiyoshida]

204. I totally agree...

But I am tired of the superior attitudes, and people saying crap like, People of Color will Not vote for Bernie!...H E L L O??? I am Asian and Hawaiian Native...I am a Person of Color, damn it, don't tell me that I have no choice but to vote for Hillary, and... if I vote for Bernie, it does not make me a Hillary Hater!

[questionseverything]

18. i still believe in democracy

my vote goes to bernie

[TBF]

22. When I surmised that Hillary Clinton is pro-free trade

I was told, and I quote:

"Didn't we control Congress and vote for NAFTA for Bill to sign? We could have stopped NAFTA at any time, our hands are not clean."

What the actual fuck? Seriously. We vote for these idiot corporate dems because they ram through the nomination, and then it's OUR fault when they pass pro-corporate legislation?

Fuck that. I am so tired of all of it. They can shove their "3rd way" sell-out BS.

No way am I voting for another poser.

Bernie gets my vote.

[Populist_Prole]

41. Agree. Stongly.

Every. Word.

Funny they should play that card. They usually play the "trade is good!" card, then proceed to use the tritest, WAY past the sell date neoliberal talking points to support it. Their boilerplate is an insult to a cretin.

We may well have been born yesterday; but it wasn't 11:00 last night.

[yuiyoshida]

89. The card i like to play is the

Yugioh card...it really messes with their mind, ne???

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. Honesty, Integrity and truthfulness

I couldn't ask more........... just don't lie to me anymore
We have all been there, and those relationships.

Just give me truth

[smilingwen]

24. Primaries

even more important than the general this year. We all know that but we need to really drive it home to others and GOTV during primaries.
As a low information voter not very many years ago, I didn't realize I even COULD vote in primaries. I am sure there are many more out there like I was.

[99th_Monkey]

25. Yes, I'm totally with you, for Bernie all the way, to the WH -nt-

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

26. Then republican trolls outnumber HRC supporters 10-1.

[HooptieWagon]

27. Be strong!

The corporatists are desperate. They'll attack, smear, lie, and attempt to rig the primaries for their candidate. We won't let them.

[yuiyoshida]

205. Gosh I hope you are right...

I remember how Bush rigged it so he was elected that time, that can not happen to Bernie, I would love to see him swept into the white house with a tsunami of votes, like President Obama, but its gonna be a total up hill battle... fighting against the Corporations that want to run and rule this country. Wall Street as well.

[zeemike]

28. Yep there is a lot of bullshit in what they tell you

And expect it to get deeper as we go along because they got nothing else but bullshit to counter with.
It is kind of pathetic really...I almost feel sorry for them.

[woodsprite]

29. Count me in! n/t

[Nitram]

30. Actually, some scientific research suggests that if you vote for Bernie, you might...

...get warts. In some cases it has been linked to "the heartbreak of psoriasis." But go ahead and take your chances.

[yuiyoshida]

34. funny I was told the same thing when I became

A Raiders fan....

[yesphan]

70. I've been a

Raiders fan for 35 years and am now completely covered with warts.
So, when I vote for Bernie, I've got nothing to worry about.

[yuiyoshida]

31. I too am a dreamer

I dream of a better life for my family and my fellow Americans.

Which is why I will vote for Bernie.

[TM99]

32. Mine too.

Screw 'em.

I, too, am sick of the harassment.

[gregcrawford]

33. I'm with you!

Bernie's one of my senators. I've met him and spoken with him. He successfully intervened on behalf of a neighbor's veteran son at my request, and I KNOW him to be an honorable man who does what he says he's going to do. Anyone who says different is a liar, pure and simple.

I am disgusted by the depths of malice and mendacity to which some Hillary supporters will sink -nay, gleefully dive - not to support their candidate, but to demean and denigrate those who support Bernie. It is VERY telling. What's even more telling is that Her Eminence has not disavowed these people.

[Ichingcarpenter]

36. Would you Change?

If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad how good does it need to get?
How many losses how much regret?
What chain reaction
What cause and effect
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. Welcome to the scary cult.....

Please leave your offering at the altar.

[artislife]

59. *snort!

[highprincipleswork]

38. Fuggesaboutit! You could say a vote for anyone other than Bernie is a wasted vote.

I know that the populace, including many Progressives, have been convinced to hold so many contrary views, by the DLC, Third Way, Ronald Raygun, Grover Norquist, right-wing talk radio, for years and years and years. False views, like government can't do anything right or administer anything. Well, Social Security and Medicare may not be perfect models of efficiency, but they sure as heck are popular and needed and effective!!!

And for many Progressives, that one must compromise, that one must be "realistic", etc.

Bernie speaks truth to power, and unabashedly. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt, another titan who should probably be revered among all others in the Progressive pantheon.

Folks like Bill Clinton and yes, Barack Obama, while certainly doing great things and "being better than the other side" have to be seen as relatively weak in the fight against oligarchy and corporatism in America. And that is not because they were up against more forces. That's because they chose to believe they needed to adopt the views of the other side to win.

Bernie Sanders, in contrast, is not afraid to speak his mind and to speak what is true. And this is resonating with so many people who in their hearts understand the same things to be true. And now they have someone to fight behind.

I'm behind Bernie Sanders all the way. As long as he's in the fight, I'm with him. He is getting the proper word out, that people can feel intuitively in their hearts as true. There is nothing like that out there elsewhere, and that's why I'm absolutely convinced he can win and be the great President that we need right now.

Your vote wasted?: No way. It's for perhaps the best guy of all in the fight for a decent life for the average American. How could that be a wasted vote.

Cast you vote against apathy, against brainwashing, against the corporate powers that be, agains the faulty decisions of the Supreme Court, against the Third Way Democrats, against the erroneous belief that government cannot be helpful so much be done away with, against outsourcing jobs to other countries, against TPP, and against those "realists" who insist it can't be done. Well, not it can't, unless you try. Unless you do it.

Just do it!!!! Go Bernie Go!

[haikugal]

39. I'm with YOU!

Bernie is going to overcome all obstacles put in his path and so will we. The amount of ugly I've seen here from supposed Clinton followers is almost unbelievable. I say almost because we've seen it before. They will stop at nothing to smear Bernie and his supporters.

A tsunami is coming their way and with hard work and persistence it will be the first step in changing politics as usual in this country.

No more neocons, third way, shock doctrine candidates need apply.

The revolution has begun...lead, follow or get out of the way!

You Rock!!

[yuiyoshida]

43. arigatou!

As a person of color, as an Asian-American who never is counted in the polls, who never vote because were all "FOBs"...As someone who "needs to go back to China!" (Republicans)
I am fucking voting for Bernie Sanders.

[haikugal]

44. You're very welcome!

I'm voting Bernie even if I have to write him in!

I edited my post above to add my current favorite song....

[Uncle Joe]

45. Kicked and recommended.

[MasonDreams]

47. We're with you, me and the people of the USA. We're building Dreams. Bernie's for Real!!!

[Jack Rabbit]

50. I'm voting for Bernie because I love my country

Bernie is the only leading candidate of either party committed to ending the disastrous era of Reaganomics (called neoliberalism or the Third Way when a Democrat is in power), and therefore the leading candidate worth voting for.

He may not be a registered Democrat, but he is still a better Democrat than anyone committed to the Third Way.

Bernie can't win because he is a socialist. To paraphrase Patrick Henry, If this be socialism, let us make the most of it.

[eggplant]

51. I'm voting for him in the primary, and then in the general (as a write-in if necessary)!

I'm in NY, so my vote in the general is somewhat irrelevant.

I choose to believe that Bernie can go the distance.

[freebrew]

52. What they don't want you to know...

if enough of us vote for Bernie, he'll win.

And mathematically, it all adds up.

Believe in math...

[AlbertCat]

53. That Asians don't vote anyway...

That's a new one!

Did they do fake Chinese gibberish after they told you that? It's SO FUNNY! (not!)

[yuiyoshida]

67. Well you know we are all

FRESH OFF THE BOAT... we can't talk well, we can't read Engrish...We don't even vote in our original countries of origin, (Whatever the fuck that means) Our "chinky eyes" are too small to read....and some Republicans think we should go the fuck back to China, and stop voting for a Communist-Socialist, cause its bad enough there is a "Muslin" in the white House who has ruined our country.

You know....all that horse pucky....My favorite is, "People of Color will not vote for Bernie Sanders"...

[ZM90]

91. Republicans can be so damn racist....

It was also pretty damn funny that one of them thought Bush was a great president

This is a very positive and uplifting thread. Sorry I am kinda late to the party other than the beginning of the party Yui .

[TimeToEvolve]

54. word. dont listen to the self-appointed guardians of the status quo

with the completion of the TPP, Bernie is the only person who can help us, or even give a damn.

i refuse to give my vote to an imperialist, pro-free-trade, warmonger masquerading as a "democrat"

[SmittynMo]

55. Bernie is the only one

that can stop the insanity. If a superPAC candidate wins, life will get damn depressing.

I'm in.

[MrMickeysMom]

57. Yui, I was with you at the SUBJECT LINE...

I was with you before it, too...

Anyone who puts that dribble out to you (as they have tried to put out to me) has needs that have not been met since they reached adulthood and learned they had not YET overcome group think. I feel that I cannot help their problem, but I will damned if they project their inability to think to me an as individual.

One of things I believe we learn in earth school is to use the thinking process to stand firm on the logic life teaches. If we pay attention to this logic, we can actually advance our self-love and society as a whole.

[cantbeserious]

68. I Am With You - No Citizen Need Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

[DFW]

73. I have been told exactly the same thing, in two versions, no less.

I have been told the version you posted, word for word.

I have also been told exactly the same thing, but with a few key words changed:

That I am "wasting my vote, that to vote for Hillary, is a vote for a Republican!" That I must be a Bernie Hater!!! That I am not a real DEMOCRAT that I must be a Third-wayer, that, a vote for Hillary is a vote for a corporatitist and that I am a Republican troll on DU trying to stir the pot. That I must be a fucking oligarch....I should take my opinion elsewhere...that people of modest means will not vote for Bernie.... That the middle class doesn't vote anyway...

okay fine. So guess what? I'm still undecided, and my vote in the primary is going to the candidate that convinces me they are the one I want to see in the Oval Office above the rest of them.

Like you, none of that other rhetoric impresses me in the slightest.

Oh, I'll be harassed for a while to come. So what else is new?

[smokey nj]

92. Seems to me you've already made up your mind.

[Dustlawyer]

87. I had one the other day that trotted out the now tired,

"Bernie can't win the General election" crap. She had been jumping in the conversation a lot up to that point with all of the BP about how Hillary is going to win and Bernie lose. I told her that "Both Hillary and Bernie could beat whatever clown emerged from the car and that I am voting for Bernie." "Besides, whoever won the Democratic Primary would have the support of us all, right?" She never responded, go figure?

[Gore1FL]

95. Ultimately, I will vote for the Dem nominee.

I want that person to be Bernie.

As a native Alabamian I sometimes get the same kind of thing when I visit up north.
Not from friends who know me, of course.
But from folks I meet at a party or some gathering who don't know me.

Anyway...it's nice to have you here.

stalking me!! okayyy...I am pretty boring really... my friends think so...

"Yui! you hanging out on that political website again?"

"Oh gurrrrlll you gotta git out and git sum sun! You are lookin so pale!!!"

I been told pale is a good thing...

"Yeah but yer part Hawaiian, and you need some sun to bring that rich color out!"

Keiko! Buy me a tropical drink and you gotta deal....

"Yuiyo! You know I gots no cash till Friday...I blew it on my hottie boyfriend"

130. Oh yeah... I'm also feelin' the Bern.

The guy is...REAL.

[solar Max]

100. I'll be voting for Sanders, too

But if Clinton turns out to be the nom, I'll vote for her in 13 months, because we HAVE to keep a piece of Republicrap out of the White House.

[yuiyoshida]

106. See I agree with you there

But despite that, I guess they think I am a Hillary hater....and once you are given that label, it doesn't go away... "Why do you hate Hillary Yui? You are a person of Color.. they all back Hillary...no POC will vote for Bernie!"

...uh, this one will.

[Enthusiast]

I am tired of the rock throwing contest.

[chknltl]

203. We'll throw a rock concert instead!

Bernie is a rock star and those of us supporting him are on the right side of history ma'am. It saddens me to see those few here that have earned my respect arguing for the wrong side of history. One can only hope we don't lose too many DUers along the way....hang in there yuiyoshida.

[Warpy]

114. Looks like there are going to be a lot of wasted votes out there

and I'll be wasting mine right along with you.

A strong showing by Sanders will change the rhetoric at the top, if nothing else. Changing the rhetoric away from business as usual will get more Democrats elected, and that's always a good thing.

IOW, I'm prepared for Sanders not to win, better to prepare for the worst. I am resigned to voting for another stodgy stiff with the corporate stamp of approval. I'm just prepared to fight them all the way.

118. I have been told on Twitter Asians never vote

"Because to Asians, they are all crooks... and Asians just want to go about our business and be left alone."

Totally not true. We voted for Obama, we voted for Mayor Ed Lee of San Francisco..we voted for people on the board of supervisors....

"Yeah you voted for your own kind..."


What I thought you said Asians don't vote ...which is it??? And when did Obama become an
Asian?

"@#$%^ you!, vote smart, vote for Trump!"


What ? so he can send us all back to China?

"exactly! "

I figured that would be your answer... :s

[aspirant]

116. I'm with that vote,

for that vote and endorse that vote.

Another Bernie endorsement, they just keep coming.

[dorkzilla]

120. Good for you! Don't let the bullies bully.

We know who the better candidate is!

[yuiyoshida]

133. Yes we do!! Bernzilla!!!

BERNZILLA

[MannyGoldstein]

132. I'm sorry.

I was totally with you until the "My vote is going to..." line, when everything went off the rails!

What happened?!

Please tell us that a Bernie Supporter threatened you at that moment and you were afraid for your life. Did they threaten to run you over with a Volvo? Or that they'd dstroy the economy by raising taxes on the Job Creators? Please tell us!

Regards,

TWM

[yuiyoshida]

134. Manny they went over the line with

BERNZILLA

[concreteblue]

135. A rough estimate...

Of the 774 friends on my Facebook feed, I am gonna say about 650 are voting for Bernie, and another 75 otr so are undecided....the rest are hopeless RWNJ dead enders.......

[yuiyoshida]

136. I guess twitter must be strange

Most of my friends are Bernie supporters, or Raiders supporters...or both...
Imagine that.... Raider-Bernie supporters!

[Paka]

137. I'm definitely with you on the "Vote for Bernie" part.

So sorry to hear about all the hate you are facing to defend your vote. My circle of acquaintances are mostly all pro-BERNIE, so I don't get much of that.

[whereisjustice]

141. Bernie is the best of both worlds...

[Live and Learn]

170. LOL I love that. What do you get when you put Bert and Ernie together?

or simplified for signs: Burt + Ernie = Bernie

[whereisjustice]

142. And there's this unfortunate soul...

[rwsanders]

143. Bernie or no one. No more third way.

[Thespian2]

145. Bernie is the only answer

for America...If he isn't elected, Americans can kiss their asses good-bye...just a thought

[PowerToThePeople]

146. I FeelTheBern

I have also trashed keywords associated with another candidate on this board. Use of ignore is good too.

My stress level is down and DU looks like a place I would enjoy visiting again.

[DrBulldog]

147. I've been told if I vote for Bernie, my hair will turn white.

Well, it's already white.

[Katashi_itto]

148. Voting Bernie if I have to write it in.

[yuiyoshida]

179. Hopefully you won't have to my friend

ganbarimasu desuyo!

[SandersDem]

149. I am at the point where...

I will never cast a vote for HRC. Bernie will get my vote. If he doesn't make it, Biden will. If Elizabeth Warren were in, she would get my vote as well too. (I truly believe Bernie is on fire and will get the nomination, he has my support and my money).

I am tired of Clintons and Bushes. I am not happy with Obama on two fronts: Wall Street reform and the TPP. Other than that, I am very proud that he is our President, just not liking years 6 and 7 that much.

[Boomer]

150. Save me a seat

Put me down as an Hispanic gay woman who feels the Bern!

[yuiyoshida]

159. You didn't get the memo?

"People of color will NOT VOTE for Bernie"

to that I say... BAKA! Doji! Manuke... (fool or Idiot, Clumsy, stupid)
Perhaps you have similar words in Spanish?

[Feeling the Bern]

153. I am with you!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

154. YES YES YES

I am definitely with you. Feelin' the burn from and sun and the bern for Bernie!

[Catherina]

155. With you. Bernie. And I'm not budging!

[yuiyoshida]

163. yeah lets do this!

lets get it done.

[LostOne4Ever]

156. Anata wa sugoi! Yuisan ga Kaenaidekudasai!

[font style="font-family:'kaiti','MS Mincho','Fangsong',fantasy;" size=5 color=teal]貴方は凄いだよ。ゆいさんが変えないで下さい。[/font]


[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You are amazing. Please don't ever change Yui-San![/font]

[yuiyoshida]

160. arigatou! Honto desuyo!

Kochira Koso! (The same for you)

[Francis Booth]

158. I, too am sick of the sliming that Bernie is getting here from people who should know

better. This latest attempt to portray him as a gun nut who the NRA has in their pocket is really pretty low, and utterly transparent, and will have the exact opposite of the desired effect.

Bernie all the way.

[yuiyoshida]

161. I was thinking of adding that to my list

but due to the recent tragic events, I won't stoop that low.

[Live and Learn]

162. Voting for the establishment in a primary is a wasted vote. We will not be doing so.

[yuiyoshida]

164. I can't wait for the Debates

will it change peoples minds? I doubt it... it should be interesting.

[Live and Learn]

166. I don't know but I will be there and I hope so.

Just got all my reservations confirmed, Very excited!

[yuiyoshida]

167. wow, being there live

How cool is that..

[Live and Learn]

169. Cool but won't be inside. Will be outside working. Still cool! nt

[yuiyoshida]

171. being there and PAID

BETTER still!

[Live and Learn]

172. Not paid, volunteer work for Bernie. Still cool?

I thought I was going for fun but turns out I am going to be a spotter. Don't really know what it entails except keeping people calm and out of trouble or something like that. Hope I am up to the task.

[yuiyoshida]

173. Still good!

Try and have fun!

[villager]

165. What!? Supporting a non-establishment approved candidate.. on an *Underground!?"

What will that do to the branding!?

[yuiyoshida]

168. Turn us into

Democratic UNDERBELLY... I guess

[Major Hogwash]

175. It's hard to fathom why Democrats wouldn't want a liberal in the White House.

An actual liberal!
Bernie is the first presidential candidate I will get to vote for who is more liberal than me!
That's hard to believe.

So, I have a hard time understanding why some Democrats don't embrace the idea of having Bernie as the President.
We must change.
We must grow.
We must become the best that we can be.

We are still the ones we've been waiting for . . . but this time, we want change for reals!

[yuiyoshida]

180. "we want change for reals!"

Hope and Real Change? sure..why not!

[Helen Borg]

176. Awww!

[yuiyoshida]

178. Is that for me?

back atcha!

[Helen Borg]

181. Yeh, of course it's for you!

[yuiyoshida]

185. yay!

[merrily]

182. Why ONLY 265 recs? You are not alone. We are with you!

[yuiyoshida]

186. 274 recs now...

[merrily]

187. Should be at least 500. I am going to bookmark and make sure I kick a few times.

[yuiyoshida]

188. 276 ..no it will

disappear off the greatest page soon, nothing lasts long there. I did post the numbers on twitter more or less for my own amusement, and bookmarked it.

[libodem]

189. That bullshit

Must be what the off site board is for. Training in nasty mean things to bludgeon your competitors with. Yes, I'm ending my sentences wrong this morning. Oh, well.

[blondie58]

190. Me!

He is the only candidate. I don't think I can vote for a Hillary if she is the nominee. She would be more of the same.
You're not alone, Yui! 😼

[yuiyoshida]

192. I really want to see how he does in

the first election. If Hillary wins it, I will support her, but half heartedly. I don't and would never vote for an alternative, and if Bernie can't win the first one, I will go with option 2. Writing in his name won't help him. Above all A Dem has to win over a Republican.

[lostnfound]

193. Hai! So shimasho!

Gamen shimas!

[yuiyoshida]

194. correction, if I may.

shimas = Shimasu
so shimasho= Sou shimasho

very good! nihongo o benkyo shite imasu ka? iiyo! Ganbatte kudasai!

[NealK]

195. If you vote for Bernie...

A gigantic asteroid will destroy the Earth!1!!

[yuiyoshida]

197. sorry that already happenend...

other wise there would be velociraptors at the polling booth!

[NealK]

198. Lol. Well it could happen again. Or the Sun will explode if you vote for the evil Bernie!

[NonMetro]

199. Hillary Clinton Wants You To Vote - For Her!

Obey!

[yuiyoshida]

201. If she wins

the Nomination I will.. but she hasn't yet, so of course I will vote for Bernie.

[NonMetro]

202. Same here

I'm voting for Bernie now, but when she gets the nod, and I don't think there is much doubt about it, I'll vote for her. There's a lot more at stake than either her or Bernie, after all!
