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
