LOL, ok Hillary supporters, what would you suggest we Bernie supporters do?

[Logical]

I see all these idiotic posts about how we know Bernie cannot win, etc.

Lets say we agree, what would you like us to do?

Jump on the Hillary bandwagon? BS to that. We know the real Hillary. And many of us do not think she is a good dem.

I'll vote for Hillary, just to stop Trump, not because I think she is a good candidate. I have a feeling most US Dems will vote for her for the same reason.

Hillary needs to use that as her slogan "Hillary 2016, Better than Trump"

So let us know how we are supposed to behave, you all seem to have all the answers.

[oldandhappy]

1. I also would like to know -- a curiosity thing.

[HassleCat]

2. Join them in their gloating?

They're so pleased and excited that they have almost killed the Bernie dragon. Should we crash the party for some free cake?

[highprincipleswork]

57. I wish they would kill the Reagan dragon, and resurrect the FDR dragon, but they apparently have no

stomach for that.

[dchill]

58. Personality Cults hate us for our free stuff!

Tax cuts for the rich! (It's already worked so well.)

3. Wake up and bury the Right Wing

6. How does us still cheering for Bernie hurt Hillary? nt

[Sheepshank]

18. Cheering for Bernie is great, but in the attempt to damage Hillary

...the person most likely to get the nomination, in the rush to damage Hillary, people are escalating the image we are a party divided, infusing a sense of superiority to RW, providing a message to those who not as wonky as we, that she is so damaged sitting out the election is a viable option, and perhaps Trump is not all that different to Hillary.

Constantly promoting the message that Hillary = Republican is one of the biggest lies tolerated and promoted on this "Dem" site.

[vintx]

24. People were calling Bill Clinton a Republican president for years on this site.

She is no different.

So, what... now that his wife is the nominee, stating such observations is verboten?

There is no 'image' that this is a divided party - it is a fact. Maybe you think if we all hold hands and sing kumbaya on DU, somehow that will fool someone? Anyone? Do you really think so?

[Silver_Witch]

25. We are a party divided.

Hillary is not a dem or a republican. We cannot know what she is - until she is in office than we will know all too well.

[pangaia]

37. Depends on whether one knows what a Democrat once was.

[Fawke Em]

35. But that would mean we'd have to vote against her.

She's right-wing.

[floppyboo]

4. Hillary says Bernie should stay in the race

And I think this is a clever move on her part. Not only does it save her from looking like a hypocrite, but it keeps the media focused on the wide inclusive range of issues and people that make up democrats. Need #'s!!!

[Armstead]

5. Stop committing ThoughtCrime

[yourpaljoey]

11. Seems simple, does it not

[HooptieWagon]

7. They claim Sanders isn't a Democrat.

We're more than willing to support Sanders as a third party candidate in the GE since that appears tobe what they want.

[Yavin4]

10. Good for you.

And if your support of a 3rd party candidate means that Trump is president, then that's on you.

[HooptieWagon]

20. No, it's on Dems who support a Republican (D) candidate.

She's not willing to compromise with the left one iota, no reason we should then. The Right Wingers can't take our votes for granted. If we don't have a place at the bargaining table, then you republican Lites are on your own.

[Yavin4]

23. Enjoy President Trump.

I will be okay. Will you?

[HooptieWagon]

29. He's no worse than Hillary.

The country survived 8 years of W. It'll survive 4 years of whoever gets elected in Nov. Meantime, a left party will form. If Dems want to split the RW with Republicans, go ahead.

[840high]

42. +1

[creeksneakers2]

46. She compromised on minimum wage

and the Keystone pipeline and TPP among others. Every time she compromises you guys say it shows she's a liar.

[rhett o rick]

55. She has changed her rhetoric not her positions. We don't trust her, she has lied in the past.

She lied about WMD in Iraq. She lied either when she said she supported the Reagan's position on AIDS or when she changed and said she didn't. Most Americans give her a very low trust rating.

[yourpaljoey]

15. It seems they are forcing that... how curious

[Yavin4]

8. Quite frankly, this Hillary supporter does not really care what you do.

I don't speak for all Hillary supporters, but I'm done. I'm over this. If you don't want to vote for the Democratic nominee, then that's your choice. I'm not going to beg you to vote for Hillary.

Bernie was rejected by a majority of the Dem voters, and yet somehow, his supporters simply cannot accept that reality.

[Armstead]

12. You ought to care what 40 percent of the primary voters think

[Yavin4]

17. I don't care.

I survived Reagan twice and a Bush 3 times. There's nothing that Trump can do to me. I will be okay. Will you?

[pangaia]

38. You only THINK you survived those guys.

Or maybe, survived is all.

[Fawke Em]

39. 45 percent, actually.

[vintx]

14. Dem voters are 29% of the electorate.

But don't let reality sink in or anything.

[Yavin4]

21. It has sunk in. You won't vote for her for any reason.

So, what's the point of trying to appease you?

[vintx]

28. This isn't about me. I'm a Dem voter in a deep red state. This is about the GE.

Her supporters are so busy patting themselves on the back and feeling smug about WINNING, but they refuse to take their oh-so-comfy blinders off.

Yes, lots of Dem primary voters like her. Many others don't. Dems. Many DEMS don't.

And DEMS are a touch under 1/3 of the electorate.

This is why she's now reaching out to Republicans.

Y'all don't need to worry about us. As you said, she's never had a chance with us.

What you should be worried about is how many others she may still lose, in her effort to court republican votes.

Good luck.

Enjoy the next six months.

[bkkyosemite]

31. She's reaching out to Rethugs because CA coming up...think about it.

[RobertEarl]

30. That's what PUMA might say

Why should a PUMA give a damn about other Dems and their principles, is right on their cover latter.

Way to go yavin!

[Trust Buster]

13. The answer is no secret. We've accepted the fact that many of you won't vote for her.

Stop attacking her, stop crashing her campaign rallies. Like a doctor, do no harm. It can only help Trump at this point. Is that too much to ask ?

[Fawke Em]

40. Why should we care?

We want to get the word out about her. If the truth about her makes Trump more popular, that's on you for nominating her, not us.

[Trust Buster]

43. I was responding to a specific question that the thread author asked of us.

If you don't care, then don't respond. Get over yourself.

[moriah]

16. Realize even if you might not be working to get the top ticket, you can still....

... work, and vote, to ensure that people supporting Bernie's ideas are fairly represented on the platform committee (a move I think Hillary should endorse, as it would make the Convention go more smoothly).

Every vote still does count.

Volunteer and vote in the remaining primaries. Make sure your voice is heard if you haven't been able to speak.

----

Best advice I can give. After that your decisions are your own.

[hrmjustin]

19. Nothing. I expect nothing.

[griffi94]

22. I think your vote is your own

But Bernie isn't going to be the nominee.

Candidates in elections are often not thrilling.
What you can live with is up to each individual.

I would wonder why the Bernie supporters who state
over and over and over that they'll never vote for Hillary
continue to say that when it's been well documented.

Is it just so we know how angry they are.
Because if that's why.
We already get it.

The declarations of Bernie or Bust aren't going to
change the outcome of the primary at this point.

It seems to me that it's like beating a dead horse.

Bernie isn't going to be our nominee

[Nye Bevan]

26. First, please try to discourage the nonsense from some about the superdelegates overthrowing

the democratically expressed wishes of the voters.

Second, also try to discourage the attacks on Hillary that exactly echo what we've been hearing from Republicans since 1992 (Whitewater, Vince Foster, Benghazi, Bill's affairs, etc.)

Third, if Bernie had beaten Hillary by several million votes and was poised to win the nomination, I wouldn't be thrilled at the voters' choice, but I would accept that the main priority is to beat Donald Trump in November. So let's start criticizing Trump and the Republicans to the same extent that Bernie fans have been attacking Hillary.

[iandhr]

27. Well not using right wing talking points to bash her would be a nice place to start.

[bkkyosemite]

32. On to WV, OR, CA and others.

[Lil Missy]

33. simple. Stop name-calling and trashing the Democratic nominee

[Tarc]

34. Stop with the Emailgate and assorted nonsense, for starters

[Fawke Em]

41. Never.

As someone who works in cyber security, her unsecured server is exactly WHY I can't vote for her.

That's a real issue. Not a made-up GOP one.

How can anyone possibly think an FBI investigation is "nonsense?" This isn't Gowdy partisan Benghazi committee. The FBI is the country's premier criminal investigative unit.

[Tarc]

45. Oh, spare me, you never cared about cabinet members e-mail until

it became a political football to use against your political opponent.

Also, "cyber" ? Seriously? No one says "cyber" unless they're either stuck in 1999 or on the creative team for CBS' out-of-touch crime dramas.

Please, drop some "information superhighway" on us next.

[Stryguy]

52. Haha

I was surfing the information superhighway and found this thread. What that guy wrote was so funny I made a copy to my zip drive.

I also made a note in my PDA to check this thread in the future just in case I don't get an electronic mail message to alert me of updates.

Cyber security. Haha

[Tarc]

53. Well if he says anything else amusing, beep me on my pager, yo

[bahrbearian]

36. "Hillary 2016, Better than Trump ask Dick Cheney"

[msongs]

44. do you what you want. quit acting like everyone else is responsible for your personal choices by

"forcing" you you to do what you dont want to do

[creeksneakers2]

47. Drop the persecution fantasies

Its annoying to read things like Bernie Sanders supporters are being forced to vote or are being thrown under the bus or any number of untrue things.

[postatomic]

48. You preface your question with 'LOL'??

Genius. Pure genius.

[betsuni]

49. Some should write "David Brock's paid shills are not hiding under the bed" 100 times on

the chalkboard.

[postatomic]

50. Oh, the actual slogan currently is "Love trumps Hate"

I like it.

[seabeyond]

51. Listen to Obama speech on feeding the negativity.

[Thinkingabout]

54. Bernie will lead the way, he will support Hillary in the GE, he will display his leadership.

[uponit7771]

59. +1

[bettyellen]

56. Help us get congress back!

[silvershadow]

60. Nothing. They wrote us off, juried us into submission, and blocked us.

They literally aren't expecting anything from us, as they have now pivoted to courting Republicans (the triangulation so many of us have been writing about for months on end now).

I guess they know better than we.

I have no intentions of playing nice going forward. They can figure out how to reach me other ways. Perhaps through my Union local? Good luck with that plan.

[MineralMan]

61. I think you should make your own decisions, after

consideration of all of the available facts. Most Sanders supporters will vote for Clinton in November. What individual supporters do, however, is entirely up to them.

Those who stay around on DU will read many arguments about why voting for Clinton makes the most sense. We'll try to convince people of that but it remains an individual decision, as always.

[Starry Messenger]

62. Nothing! Change nothing.

It's all working fine, as far as I'm concerned. Keep doing whatever it is.
