In reply to the discussion: Trump: Republicans 'have no choice' but to vote for me [View all]strategery blunder
(4,225 posts)44. With Hillary I can expect to get, at minimum, two-thirds of what I want to vote for.
There are areas that I disagree with Hillary, but this Bernie supporter ain't letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. (And if Hillary sticks to the current platform that both Hillary and Bernie supporters put together, instead of reverting to her positions circa ten years ago, I'll be in alignment with her 90%+ of the time.)
I'm more than capable of seeing that the only thing I can expect under Trump is for this country to rapidly disintegrate into a fascist hellhole.
Yes it took me a while to "get over it" but I suspect most Bernie supporters will come around, just like disappointed Hillary supporters came around to Obama in the 2008 general election.
