Question for Biden supporters

[Dem4Life1102]

Will you enthusiastically support the Democratic party nominee regardless of who it is?

[MaryMagdaline]

1. Yes.

[brush]

39. That needs to asked of Sanders supporters. Again.

[calimary]

48. That DEFINITELY needs to be asked of Bernie supporters!!!

Said she, who may never be able to forgive or forget how long he held off getting behind her til the last night of the convention, LONG after she’d clinched it by anybody’s calculations.

If he isn’t the nominee, I desperately hope he won’t do the same thing again, to he or she who is.

And that said, I’ve already stated on the record that I WILL vote for him if he winds up as our nominee. And I know my local Indivisibles will work for his victory over trump, and I’ll likely join them in that.

[booley]

52. no it doesn't

In fact maybe "we" should stop alienating the very people who we need to vote.

[NurseJackie]

58. Not-coddling and not-validating and not-hugging isn't the same as alienating.

In fact maybe "we" should stop alienating the very people who we need to vote.

Not-coddling and not-validating and not-hugging isn't the same as alienating. Voters who need constant validation probably aren't going to vote anyway. Why would I waste my time trying to be "un-alienating" to folks who are more interested in their own feelings than they are in doing the right thing for the good our our nation and for the benefit of the most vulnerable among us? Instead, if spending an hour trying to flatter and placate someone who may or may not vote... I could spend that same hour getting a dozen new voters and getting people excited about the Democratic party.

[elleng]

60. Right.

Sounds like 'trouble.'

[brush]

62. Come on. Ya need to say that to OP, or don't Biden supporters count?

[UniteFightBack]

71. Of course it's not directed at ALL of Bernie's supporters...but a good chunk of them so just please.

[OKNancy]

2. Yes

Depending on who it is I will give money too. But my vote probably won't matter since I live in Oklahoma. It will be a symbolic vote.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. Of course, I may have to hold my nose if it is BS but I will do it.

[vsrazdem]

17. I made that comment about holding my nose to vote and got slammed by a Biden supporter.

I guess it doesn't apply to Biden people, only the "others."

Quote: That is a bad reply...no one should need to hold their nose in order to cast a vote in an effort to
kick Trump out of office...all of our Democratic candidates are eons better than Trump...I saw 'hold your now posts' on all sorts of media last time and I truly believe such comments hurt general election efforts. It dampens enthusiasm and is used by the right wing too.

[Dream Girl]

31. I'll be honest. Bernie makes my skin crawl, but I would vote for him in a heartbeat!

I just cannot stand the man, gives me the heebejeebees, but I would vote for him or any Dem nominee. No question.

[vsrazdem]

34. I feel that way about Gabbard and Bloomberg.

[Dream Girl]

36. Same. But I would vote for either of them if they run as Dems.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

45. Respect!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[Mz Pip]

43. All of our candidates are better

Just vote!

An unenthusiastic vote counts the same as an enthusiastic one.

I am enthusiastic about seeing Trump gone.

[calimary]

50. EXCELLENT post. Yes I'm SHOUTING!

[Cha]

57. Well said, Mz Pip!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

44. Under the "Bernie Standard," anything that makes Bernie look bad, even it could never be

said against another candidate without consequences, is fair game.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

46. I don't think you need to worry though, as Biden will NOT be our nominee...

but, if Joe somehow manages to squeak by and win the Democratic nomination over Bernie, a vote like yours, even if you have to hold your nose to do it, is still a positive vote... WE'LL TAKE IT!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[Demsrule86]

22. No you don't need to hold your nose...consider that it is a vote to rid of us Trump...last time the

the hold your nose stuff was all over the internet...and I believe it depressed our vote...we need to be positive and enthusiastic for any candidate...So lets...all cast a vote with great delight to rid ourselves of the scourge of Trump...

[redstatebluegirl]

24. I try, but BS is not someone I trust at all after 2016.

I will vote for our nominee, I will not work for him the way I would for any of the other candidates. Sorry, I know it is all over the internet, but I am not all over the internet, I have used that term for a lot of years. There have been other candidates I have felt that way about.

I am very angry with BS, and I am angry with some of his followers who keep saying they will not vote if it isn't BS. I will ALWAYS vote, and ALWAYS vote for a Democrat, but I have problems seeing BS as a Democrat since as soon as he loses the nomination changes his party back to I.

[Demsrule86]

32. I will never get over the 2016 general... I do not believe Sanders helped Clinton enough...

But, he is still preferable to Trump...any Democrat is. I will vote for Sanders enthusiastically and pray he wins. But actually, I do not think Sanders will win the nomination...he doesn't have enough AA support and he is less popular than last time...so take heart...it is likely we will be voting for Biden IMHO.

[calimary]

53. You're not alone.

[Demsrule86]

63. It breaks my heart to think about it...we got Trump the bastard and Hillary was treated like shit...

she would have been a great president unlike Psycho Mango.

[calimary]

66. Hey - I like that! Psycho Mango!

I’ll give him this much: he sure does inspire people’s creativity! Creativity and humor in outrage.

[Demsrule86]

67. I have disliked all GOP elected...including presidents...but I actively hate Trump with a passion of

1000 burning suns. He is quite simple a monster.

[calimary]

70. You and me both, my friend.

[Demsrule86]

73. I hope we get him out...I don't think it will be as easy as some thing...he has the power of

incumbency and for some reason has moved up in the polls.

[mahina]

51. A pile of us in Hawai'i go volunteer on the continent.

I wish we could just drive a couple of states away to help where it’s needed but those who can’t go help by phone banking to states with lots of Hawai’i people like Nevada.

[calimary]

72. Thank you! And please thank them, too!

[mahina]

74. It's a privilege and an honor

🤙🏼🤙🏼

[PatSeg]

4. I obviously will support

whoever is the Democratic nominee. Levels of enthusiasm however will vary.

[Dave in VA]

5. Yes

[Amimnoch]

6. Mixed bag.

Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Booker, Klobuchar, Yang, Steyer, Patrick, or Delaney I will most enthusiastically support, vote for, donate to, volunteer canvas and phone bank for.

Gabbard/Bloomberg, I’d hold my nose, but still support, vote for, donate to, volunteer canvas and phone bank for.

Bernie.. I must respectfully decline to comment out of respect for TOS.

[aeromanKC]

7. Not enthusiastically

I would not put a bumper sticker on for a couple of candidates, but instead would put on an anti-Trump one. Keep your eye on the prize. The prize isn't who the Dems pick, but for getting Trump out of office!!. I'm voting straight D regardless. Always do always will.

Irrelevant, Biden is going to be the candidate. (book it) It will be Biden and a minority woman and will win. The eventual question will be who will win in 24 when Biden is not on the ticket. Hopefully Pete doesn't go away.

[LakeArenal]

19. I will be very angry if Biden serves only one term.

I’m voting for President. Not Sarah Palin.
There has been no real indication that Biden would serve one term. It would considerably alter my opinion of the value of my vote.

With regard to the original post...
It’s also against DU to say I wouldn’t vote for the Dem Nominee no matter what. So yes, we will all vote for whomever the nominee is.

[aeromanKC]

20. Agree

perhaps it was something mentioned to appease a certain demographic initially. Haven't heard anything of it since. Once in he wil flourish and will enjoy the position. Perfect person for the position at this time.

[Demsrule86]

23. He has said he is not serving one term...why is Biden always asked about this Sanders who had a

heart attack recently is not asked about serving one term...he is older than Biden.

[peggysue2]

49. Good Question!

[Demsrule86]

64. It makes no sense.

[still_one]

37. +++

[Gothmog]

8. Yes

I will support the nominee of the party

[katmondoo]

9. yes, with enthusiasm

[lark]

10. Voting blue no matter who.

I think you will find most Biden supporters value loyalty to our principals and values and will vote those regardless.

[beachbumbob]

11. If "we" did not learn our lesson from 2016, we deserve 4 more years of trump and GOP stacking the

courts

[aeromanKC]

21. 2018 is an example

WE LEARNED!!

[Mz Pip]

42. This

Honestly, if we can’t all come together to rid ourselves of this orange maniac then we deserve to lose.

[left-of-center2012]

12. Question for ______ supporters

Fill in the blank.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Absolutely. We have too much riding on this election.

[The Genealogist]

14. Yes I will

I won't do so enthusiastically for all of them, but I will certainly vote for whomever the candidate is.

[beastie boy]

15. I will even support a non-Democrat against Trump. As long as he doesn't switch party affiliation to

Republican!

[MineralMan]

16. Of course.

[mainstreetonce]

18. Yes

But go Joe!

[nini]

25. REAL Democrats don't have a problem voting party

You asked the wrong group of people.

[Tiggeroshii]

35. There are more enthusiastic posts in the sanders thread, though...

If you are alluding to Bernie supporters not being "real democrats," that is.

[TruckFump]

26. Of course!

Why would you ask?

No matter who we nominate, I am voting blue all the way.

[BlueTsunami2018]

27. Of course.

Blue no matter who.

🤷?♂️

[bearsfootball516]

28. Absolutely

[Dream Girl]

29. Of course - Biden supporters are not bat shit crazy

Was that supposed to be a gotcha?

[underthematrix]

30. Yes. The idea of hurting someone just because my preference didn't make it to the

finish line is abhorrent to my spirit. While I may not be a Christian, my purpose is to live according to the Word of God and His blessed son Jesus Christ. The second of God's greatest commandments is to love thy neighbor as thyself. It is for the love of my neighbor that I will vote a straight Democratic (BLUE) ticket.

[Demsrule86]

33. Well said. I vote a straight Democratic ticket as well...lovely post.

[underthematrix]

38. Thank you and I love you back :)

[Demsrule86]

65. Happy new year friend!

[Hekate]

40. I see what you're doing with your series of trick-Q OPs. What sort of answers are you looking for?

In particular, what do you imagine any Biden supporter will say? As far as I can tell, we Biden supporters are all well past the stage where we think any single candidate is God's Answer to All Our Problems.

Joe Biden is a little older than I'd like, but anyone who's clinging to either Warren or Sanders really should not be talking about Biden's age.

Joe's a good man with a proven liberal record. Lib-er-al. He has not adopted the latest buzzwords, but he's been a liberal his whole life. Likeable? He melts my heart with his sincerity. On target? His opening campaign video with the Charlottesville Nazis made me cry. Godlke and without flaws? Uh -- no.

But look at our field of candidates. With the exception of Tulsi "The Mole" Gabbard, every single one believes in and acts on core Democratic principles. We'd all have to be really, really, really stupid to sit this one out or vote for someone like Jill Stein. I don't think Biden supporters are that stupid.

Does that answer your question?

[emmaverybo]

47. Agree with everything you said so beautifully.

[bronxiteforever]

54. + 1000. Just flat out awesome 😎

[Mz Pip]

41. Of course

I’ll vote Blue no matter who.

[Pathwalker]

55. TRICK QUESTION! You can be kicked off DU if you say NO!

Hopefully, DUers are smart enough to not fall for this TRICK!

[Cha]

56. Of course.. am I crazy? NO.

[Loki Liesmith]

59. Enthusiastically?

Tulsi would make it hard but yes.

[Blue_true]

69. Tulsi would be tough, but she is still miles better than Trump.

So I would have no issue supporting her after she became the presumptive nominee.

[treestar]

61. Quit trying both sides take on this

It does not exist. We “ centrists” don’t do that. Neither does the far right. That’s how Republicans win. That’s why bernies dreams will never see the light of day. The courts will be packed with conservatives even is he won.

[Blue_true]

68. Yes. I am 100% sure. nt
