(11,138 posts)Fairly predictable actually. I told my wife that your "support" for Sanders was ephemeral, and that you would switch to Hillary before the first primary. It's a bit earlier than I expected, but I suppose this opportunity was too good to pass up.
What's amusing is the effort that you put into these things. Clearly you imagine that these screeds of your are somehow influencial; that you are swaying opinions. You aren't of course, but oh BOY do you try!
See, here's where the rubber meets the road. Nobody's supporters here are typical of the nation at large. People here at DU are quite a bit more zealous in their support, and tend to be less polite to those who support other candidates, than those in the general public. This is just as true of Hillary's supporters as it is of anyone elses, be it Sanders, O'Malley, or some candidate yet to be named. Your entire point rests upon Sanders supporters somehow being different than all the others, a falsehood obvious to the most casual observer. Thus, your reasoning is a McGuffin, a made up of whole cloth bit of nonsense which enables you to make a very public switch in loyalties to Hillary.
It's pure codswallop, all of it. Nicely crafted though.
