She said she was not and idiot and was voting for Hillary, good for her. On the other side, she said anyone that votes for any other candidate IS and idiot. I can and do understand what she posted.

I'm voting for HRC in my primary gwheezie Oct 2015 #1
Sanders supporters are not that...please reconsider your words. For shame. Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #5
Thanks Fred JackInGreen Oct 2015 #226
So, anyone with an opinion different from your is "an idiot". NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #8
Political wishful thinking, yes. Idiocy, no. See this link: RBInMaine Oct 2015 #27

"Democratic Socialist" SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #84
Thanks. NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #90
I like "FDR Democrat" as well. SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #94
I believe Bernie can also obtain some crossover vote from Republicans. NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #103
Can't imagine an R voting for Hillary, true. nt SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #111
The GOP does not support socialism Gothmog Oct 2015 #203
Good OP-I am supporting Hillary Clinton because I simply do not think that Sanders is electable Gothmog Oct 2015 #204
Is there a difference to the average voting person? Thor_MN Oct 2015 #108
He is. It's called "stating his positions." SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #137
You are missing the point. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #145
You think the Sanders campaign is SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #152
No, you placed the burden on others to find out what Democratic Socialist means. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #159
Oh, you mean me personally. SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #192
I can answer that since I have been out on the streets supporting Bernie. Live and Learn Oct 2015 #180
Thank you for your efforts. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #185
Bernie is quite adept at explaining the difference himself. Live and Learn Oct 2015 #190
My point is that he needs to. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #191
He is doing his best (quite well, actually) in person and through social media. Live and Learn Oct 2015 #193
I believe you ascribe far to much dislike for the term "socialist" in today's society. NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #207
I believe you conflate my opinions with the average person's. Thor_MN Oct 2015 #208
Thanks Thespian2 Oct 2015 #98
Sanders is not looking to dismantle capitalism. He's basically a staunch libeal/progressive Armstead Oct 2015 #58
I never imagined I would live to see those basic principles become radical. Autumn Oct 2015 #71

Great post. I agree with this completely. DanTex Oct 2015 #2
Settling is not a strategy Fearless Oct 2015 #63
And I hope Hillary supporters read up on Third Way and what its done to the Democratic Party. RiverLover Oct 2015 #222
Why would you strongly campaign for Sanders in the general if he can't possibly win? Vattel Oct 2015 #3
Frankly NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #10
I believe ALL HRC supporters would back Bernie in the general to fight what Hortensis Oct 2015 #17

I think you're making way too much of a little toss-in. We all tend to assume Hortensis Oct 2015 #32

Umhm. Except odds for the 2016 White House are in our favor. It's ours to hold. Hortensis Oct 2015 #179
I don't have to. I live in a blue state so I can just skip the top line! Nt Walk away Oct 2015 #237
Yep, their confidences is in the machine. zeemike Oct 2015 #57
Yeah, but SusanCalvin Oct 2015 #95
Well perhaps some of them will be recipients of that suction. zeemike Oct 2015 #110
GLAD you asked, as I knew someone would. HERE is why I would still campaign BIGTIME for Sanders: RBInMaine Oct 2015 #11
Let's turn it around. Here is why I will support Hillary in the general, if she is the nominee. rogerashton Oct 2015 #60
Thanks. That makes sense. Vattel Oct 2015 #69
"He Can't Win," liberalmike27 Oct 2015 #85
Dividing the left mentally up into "us" and "them" may satisfy something inside you, Hortensis Oct 2015 #239
Huh? In the unlikely event he wins as Democratic nominee treestar Oct 2015 #100
I think you misunderstood me. Vattel Oct 2015 #107
Letting the GOP win would be pointless. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #112
RBI said that Sanders couldn't possibly win the GE but that he or she would campaign on his behalf Vattel Oct 2015 #120
One would do so because giving up is not an option in the General. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #125
if sanders can't win, and he is the democratic nominee, Vattel Oct 2015 #129
You are explaining why you would give up. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #131
After reading RBI's response, I would keep fighting even if I knew the Repub would win. Vattel Oct 2015 #141
Yes, you keep fighting anyway. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #143
cool. we agree Vattel Oct 2015 #177
The goal is to put as many dems in office as we can. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #200
You should put this paragraph you wrote in a frame: Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #4
Yes. Hortensis Oct 2015 #15
GREAT POINT. I hope people respond. RBInMaine Oct 2015 #28
Hey, not all posts belong in frames. :) Hortensis Oct 2015 #87
She denies being a progressive. Are you saying she's lying? Scuba Oct 2015 #6
You're wrong. In fact in the '08 debates she described herself as a "Modern Progressive." RBInMaine Oct 2015 #18
What's a "modern progressive"? NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #36
"I've been accused of being a moderate. I plead guilty." -HRC Scuba Oct 2015 #40

Yeah, "moderate" is a dirty word, misinformed voters notwithstanding. Scuba Oct 2015 #217
I'm not sure how to take that JohnnyRingo Oct 2015 #219
Hey, if Ohio voters think Hillary is "too liberal" then they're misinformed as ... Scuba Oct 2015 #221
You didn't refer to me (et al) as "ignorant" for not sharing your view JohnnyRingo Oct 2015 #230
"I'll waste no more of your time by responding." Bwahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Scuba Oct 2015 #232
And there you have it. By using the qualifier of "Modern" she was stating she was not LondonReign2 Oct 2015 #80
She's "evolved" on that too to now claim moderate centrist. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #139

Your statement is the very hyperbole I mention in the OP. Your mind is LOCKED. RBInMaine Oct 2015 #21
You're right. It's "LOCKED" on voting for the greater good. eom NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #25
