- i am not sure why you think that people voting for the person who represents their views is so terrible. -- nm - Andie Apr 7, 07:36 18
  - I didn't say terrible. The word I used was delusional. At this point, a candidate that cannot win staying in and bashing the candidate that will be - Bacon Apr 7, 07:40
  - (i really dislike the mentality of voting for the person you think will win. too many people do that instead of who they would like to win.) - Andie Apr 7, 07:37 16
    - I voted for Nader and got Bush. I won't make that mistake again. - Mel Profit Apr 7, 07:51 1
      - As did Guy Incognito. I get it, I do, and in a landslide vote a protest vote for ideological vote is fine, but in a close one, it's a catastrophe. - Bacon Apr 7, 07:54
    - I think it's just a question of micro v. macro view. On the micro side is the view that you want to pick who represents your views best. The macro - pmb Apr 7, 07:44 6
      - and i understand that. but the Bernie supporter bashing really bothers me. -- (edited) - Andie Apr 7, 07:45 5
        
        I get that. I had this coversation with my daughter. She supports Sanders. I explained these various reasons and her answer was "I want to vote for - pmb Apr 7, 07:50
        
        Delusional is only used in the context that a lot of Bernie supporters still think he can win. He cannot - Bacon Apr 7, 07:48
        
        The bashing and talking point repeating is happening in spades from both side's supporters -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 7, 07:48 1
        
        oh, i don't like it from anybody. i like to see people's OWN reasons, not spouting CNN sound bites verbatim, - Andie Apr 7, 07:49
        
        I think the delusional part refers to people who think he can realistically win. -- nm - Inigo Apr 7, 07:47
    - Bernie CAN'T win is my point. Unless Hillary drops out, he cannot win. He would have a better chance at winning a Powerball jackpot at this point. -- nm - Bacon Apr 7, 07:41 6
      - then Hillary has nothing to worry about and can just start campaigning now. -- nm - Andie Apr 7, 07:44 5
        
        What she has to worry about is him damaging her further to help the GOP. A vote for Bernie is a vote to damage the eventual primary winner. - Bacon Apr 7, 07:46 4
        
        Bernie, "she is not qualified to be President" You don't think that quote will end up in a GOP commercial? Hah!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 7, 07:49
        
        Counterpoint: Hillary/Obama in 2008 stretched out way longer than this primary, and Obama still won easily. -- nm - Inigo Apr 7, 07:48
        
        oh please. -- nm - Andie Apr 7, 07:47
        
        I think you're wildly overstating that possibility. -- nm - Reagen Apr 7, 07:47
