To be honest, it was either going to be that, or refuse to vote on the grounds that neither candidate deserve a single ballot in their name.

You can always write someone in who was engaged in the Primaries.

Many will not see the difference between 'vote' and 'endorsement'.

Yup, many folks never get past the headline, I will have to make a thread Still no Sanders endorsement for Hilley. lol's

It's over dude. Sanders is done and he will vote for Hillary when the time comes. Saying that he would vote for her is in and of itself an endorsement.

To say or think any different is just delusional.

Not really. Just because he's voting for her doesn't mean he supports her. There is actually a difference.

He would vote for nearly anyone who would have a chance to beat Trump.

Love it.

They really squirm when you throw their own words back at them.

They can't face facts and rarely bring supporting documentation for their stances.

Don't ever let them slide on their bullsnip.

Just because he's voting for her doesn't mean he supports her.

That's exactly what it means.

I provided sources that show the viewers of NPR and other non-Right Wing media are better informed than those that view Fox. Hell, people that do not watch any news content are better informed than Fox viewers.

Incorrect

Despite declaring that he would vote for Hillary Clinton in November's general election, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders maintained that he still isn't ready to endorse his primary race rival.

When pressed why he hasn't endorsed her yet, the Vermont senator responded: "Because I have not heard her say the things that I think needs to be said."

a reply to: VivreLibre

Then Sanders is an idiot.

Why would he claim to be willing to vote for someone, but not endorse her because she has not said the things he wants her to say?

Claiming that one will vote for someone is an endorsement in and of itself.

Bernie has always been a big supporter of Climate Change policies and equal opportunities. What are you talking about?

Are you kidding?

Bernie has done nothing but rally against corruption in Government brought about by corporate oligarchy.

What does that have to do with being for Climate Change and against racism? Your point is completely different from what you originally said.
Combating Climate Change to Save the Planet
Racial Justice
That's straight from his website. Methinks you don't know what you are talking about.

Way to cherry pick parts of posts to misrepresent my point.

You can respond, I wont, because I found long ago it is a never ending pointless exercise.

a reply to: stosh64

I didn't cherry pick # from your post. I'm continuing the conversation we started when I originally responded and said that Bernie has always been supporting of Climate Change initiatives as well as race legislation. I proved that with links to his ACTUAL campaign platform, and now because you've been proven 100% wrong you pretend like I'm cherry picking stuff. Lol. You have no clue what you want to say and are just saying crap and hoping it sticks.

You should stay in your lane and not talk about candidates you never supported to begin with. You clearly are ill-informed on their policy proposals.

Meanwhile the republicans throw trump up and you guys decide to back a mental midget racist . Ok I see where you're coming from......
Runs away trying to stifle a laugh.

Who is you guys?

I'm no trump supporter and think he is full of BS. However,

I don't Vote trump
but if I do
its because Hillary is the other primary choice.


No matter how much I despise trump Hillary is far worse and she has a PROVEN record of doing nothing for the majority of voters.

Because that's not how it works.

And yes he's an idiot, but not because he's choosing to vote against a candidate rather than in support of one.

Maybe to idiots. Claiming one will vote for someone is an endorsement.

Why do you suppose anyone would not admit to supporting him?
Are they ashamed, guilt by association?
Are they worried about what people will think?
Like some discerning members of the GOP who won't "admit" their support either?
But under cover of the voting booth...dum ta dum dum. (Perry mason music)

Maybe they are more worried about what people might DO if they find out your a Trump supporter.





The anti Trump crowd is not known for having self control.

That sucks.

I'm not voting for either Hillary or Trump. Not sure who yet, but neither of those to blow hards.

I guess your definition works for simple people even though it's wrong.

Bernie Sanders says he will vote for Hillary Clinton

This just makes me sad.

a reply to: introvert

And I always try for primary source material rather than any news channel blather.

If I do use any MSM source, it's generally only when quoting individuals and in that circumstance, I try and find the most complete in context quote possible.

I especially eschew unnamed entities such as "intelligence officials" or "sources close to the case."

I really thought Sanders was an ok person, even though his ideas for the country were misguided.
But he has lost all credibility with me.
If he can vote for Hillary, after everything he has said, then he has definitely sold out.

I don't see how any moral person could vote for her.
Maybe he needs to educate himself and start paying attention.

Trump is making an all-out effort to get the truth out.
This is going to get good. Trump has posted #1, without probably hundreds to go.
Somebody should get Sanders to start with paying attention here:
Hillary Lie #1

a reply to: BlueAjah

Trump is making an all-out effort to get the truth out.

That must come as a shock considering how many lies he's told over the course of his campaign.

Still, if he's actually hurting Hillary then I'm glad. My voting preferences are The Devil, Ted Cruz, Hillary. In that order. Descending order. One of the few contestants in history where you could conceivably say "I know you had resigned yourself to voting for Hillary Clinton, but have you considered The Scourge and Plague of Humanity, Baron of the Seven Hells, His Dark Lordship Lucifer?" and be responded to with "Why no, I hadn't. Thank you, I almost made a terrible mistake."

Pretty sure he just didn't want to commit political suicide.
