Bernie Sanders says he will vote for Hillary Clinton

a reply to: DBCowboy

Uh huh

Wait ...who were all those people including the super delegates who actually support her?

How did she win ? Oh yeah real people who voted for her.
Steal a base. Too funny .

I know, it is tough to figure out.
The post you made that I replied to was to a Bernie supporter that views him as a sellout and thinks that they have been stabbed in the back!

Hm, as far as I am aware, he said he will vote for Hillary but not endorse her. I personally wouldn't vote for Hillary if her opponent was Lucifer himself, but I am sure ATS can make the distinction between a tactical vote against Trump (an ugly thing forced by the United State's piece of sh*t election system) and an endorsement.

Here's the thing: Has he called for his supporters to back Hillary? If he has, I must have missed it. That would be the proverbial stab in the back.

I know much. Wouldn't be fair.

What Bernie is saying is that the only way for his ideas to find any chance of being acted upon is through the Democratic Party. Bernie never caucused with Republicans.

Because the fundamental structure of our govt and election processes were set up for a two-party system, a third (or multi) party winner will never be viable at the national level. Bernie understands that.

I posted on this thread re the structural level of the third party.

Sanders ran as a democrat.

PERIOD
He was mainstream. He also caucuses as a democrat while in the Senate so pluheeze. He's mainstream.

But Sanders ran an anti-mainstream campaign.

And he had anti-mainstream supporters.

Hard to trust Democrats isn't it.

She has her own well established base thanks.
But any votes that can be against trump is a good well placed vote so there's the silver lining.

Never is an absolute and shouldn't be used or counted on.

I wonder if Hillary supporters would have decided to vote for Sanders had he won the delegates?

Using their logic and mental ability they would have voted for hitler himself had the dnc and msm picked him as the winner.

They are what i call regurgitative thinkers.

Bernie can't vote for Hillary if she's not on the ballot.

I feel this is a part of the unification, something to draw Clinton supporters votes to Sen Sanders when HRC has to drop out of the race.

Go Bernie!

Now what happens to the "Democrat Socialist" meme ?

Yeah. About that.

Something to be real proud of, I suppose.

Voting for Hillary.

Go Bernie!

That angle needs to be emphasized.

It's very possible Hillary gets taken down or severely compromised before the convention.

Imo i think that wasnt really the focus as much as the anti corruption and financial ties between congress and special interest.

They decided to drop the "Democrat" part.

It appears to me that Bernie Sanders has decided to go with party unification.

Never mind what you actually believe in, eh?

Just as long as we keepthe party together, to hell with everything you stand for.

I gotcha.

I counter with this:

"Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain

Our government has not deserved we, the people's loyalty for quite some time. And that goes for both 'sides' of the aisle!

You are correct.

Sanders said he will vote for Hillary.

And he said she needs to say some things "that need to be said" before he endorses her.

How much more confusing and deflecting can it get?

But wait. A "vote for" *IS* an endorsement.

a reply to: DBCowboy

I cannot understand the thought process of someone who would vote for Hillary. She is just so obviously and blatantly awful, all the lies and corruption and lack of empathy to the general populace. It is literally incomprehensible to me that anyone would willingly place her as the figurehead of their country. Even the Anti-Trump argument falls flat on its face when you consider that any damage Trump might possibly do is meaningless compared to the damage that Clinton will do.

That "willingly" part is debatable though, I suppose, considering the transparent election fraud that occurred during the DNC primary.

The difference between a vote and an endorsement is the difference between a common enemy and a friend. You do understand, I'm sure of it, you're just trying to stir things up a bit or something.

Now, if the US had preferential voting and Clinton was his #1 pick, then I would agree with you.

I don't need you to spell that out for me silly man. I know I'm a Hillary supporter yeah I can face that fact lol.
