18. The problem with your thinking is that HRC will fall to the same fate that Gore did in 2000.

The hubris of DWS and HRC will kill our chances in the general unless Sen Sanders wins.

The math is simple, most all Democrats have said they will support Sen Sanders if nominated but many, many have said that they will not support HRC if nominated. Simple math tells you that Sanders will get more Democratic votes in the general. But the hubris of the 1% actually doesn't care if we win the general AS LONG AS A PROGRESSIVE DOESN'T WIN.

This is a class war and those that support HRC are supporting the Oligarchy. Support the Peoples candidate, support Sanders.
