1. sanders cannot get nomination without support from former Clinton voters

Link to tweet

[squirecam]

37. It certainly

Affected my opinion of her.

[brutus smith]

2. So why are you former "Clinton voters" always threatening that you won't support the nominee

If it is Sanders?

[Tiggeroshii]

4. +1

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

6. +2

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

[Amimnoch]

9. ROFLMAO, is that a joke?!?!

When more than 40% of BS supporters refuse to commit to supporting the nominee if BS loses?!?!

Ever heard of #bernieorbust?

Notice that Bernie's is the ONLY campaign that has hired on leadership positions that were openly and vocally Stein supporters??

Maybe.. just maybe.. a swath of those who supported Clinton have finally had enough of BS's campaign acting like they are ENTITLED to our votes while at the same time and for years refusing to make a firm commitment to us. This might come as a shock to you, but when you're insulted by a candidate, and his surrogates for years, the desire to support tends to suffer some.

Here's some helpful pointers to stopping this anti BS movement:
1. Stop attacking the Democratic Party as a whole.
2. Drop the Stein supporters.
3. Go after trump the same way he goes after Democratic Party Candidates.

Have you also noticed that BS is the ONLY candidate that everyone else is against? It isn't his policies like a segment of his devout would have people believe.. Many who detest him, adore Warren. If it was policy, they'd dislike her as well.

[Zoonart]

21. Sound familiar?

1. Only he can solve our problems
2. Only his programs will work
3. Everything is rigged against him
4. He yells
5. He is temperamentally unfit for office
6. Seems to me that his campaign staff is running him and not the other way round.
7. He is NOT a Democrat

This is why I do not support Bernie.
My candidate was Corey Booker.
All that being said, I will vote for Bernie if he is the candidate.
(spoiler... I voted for Bernie in my state primary in 2016. I have done my Bernie homework)

[highplainsdem]

19. Links to prove that HRC supporters are making such threats?

[highplainsdem]

22. She's still going to vote for Sanders if he's the nominee. And since Sanders will be leaving the

Democratic Party again if he ISN'T our nominee, and his supporters have no problem with that, those supporters are in absolutely NO position to criticize anyone else for considering leaving the party if they feel it's gone too far left, when they're fine with him being an independent because he doesn't think the party's far enough left. It's sheer hypocrisy to fault any Democrats considering becoming independents if the party moves too far left.

I hope we can count on Sanders supporters voting for our nominee if it isn't him.

I'm much more concerned about them not voting than I am about any lifelong Democrats leaving the party.

[highplainsdem]

24. Your earlier post did NOT include the fact she'd said she'd vote for Sanders against Trump.

Which implied she wouldn't be voting Democratic in this election.

[highplainsdem]

32. I asked for links -- plural -- because you said "they" were making threats.

[highplainsdem]

34. Didn't think you could back up your claim.

[bluedye33139]

51. That person doesn't say they're going to leave the party

[Lancero]

54. Gotta admire the quality of those mental gymnastics.

"I hate this Independent who calls himself a Democrat so much that if he becomes the nominee I'll leave the Democrats and become a Independent!"

Ideological differences that prevent you from calling yourself a Democrat, but still willing to support them. My my, how... Sanderish.

[ehrnst]

61. Granted, that's one person. Whereas polling shows this about Sanders supporters...

26. Where?

(or did I fall for a trick question here? Hmm.)

[UniteFightBack]

29. They said cannot get the NOMINATION without help from Clinton voters. nt

[lapucelle]

35. Isn't everybody on DU a former Clinton voter?

[democrattotheend]

58. I think the poster meant Clinton primary voters

But there may be some on DU who didn't vote for Hillary in the general in 2016, either because they were too young, not citizens, etc. or because they have become Democrats between 2016 and now or voted for another candidate in 2016 and realized it's a mistake, which is great.

[DanTex]

43. Thread win!!!!

[trueblue2007]

45. Because ..... He. Stinks !!!!!

[Codeine]

47. I don't much care for him

and I find his supporters absolutely impossible to deal with, but I’ll still vote for him if the worst case scenario happens and he wins the nomination. I’ve always voted, I’ve always voted Blue, and I don’t intend to change my track record anytime soon.

[sheshe2]

50. Care to link where any of us said that?

I will wait here.

PS, You have that completely turned around.

[ehrnst]

59. Care to back that up with some sources?

Like a poll or something?

So, you're not a "former Clinton voter?"

Who did you vote for in the General? Do tell....

[ehrnst]

60. "you former clinton voters"....So you didn't vote for Clinton? That's interesting...

[RandySF]

3. No, but I am DEEPLY disappointed in Rashida.

I was back in Michigan for the 2018 primary and stuck up for her when she won an upset. I also stuck for her and Omar through all the accusations of anti-Semitism. But, I kind of hope Brenda Jones runs again this year.

[LisaM]

12. I am disappointed in my rep, Jayapal.

This is just a horrible thing.

As usual, Sanders will ignore it, or give it tacit approval.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. That shocked me.

How very disappointing.

[MH1]

27. Yeah, I was really liking Jayapal. Starting to question now.

When someone goes too far, it generally isn't wise to jump on the bandwagon to stay one of "the gang". Better to be the adult and show true leadership. Jayapal can still recover, hopefully.

[ismnotwasm]

38. Me too

She’s my rep as well, and always impressed me with her immigrant rights work.

For her to snicker like a kid on stage disappointed me so much

[LisaM]

41. And the irony here is....

In the primary, she essentially criticized Brady Walkinshaw for being sexist for running against her, now she supports a male candidate against strong women candidates (she can support whomever she wants, it's just inconsistent).

[ismnotwasm]

42. Yeah I don't get it

One of the things I admired about her is her “grown up in the room” persona. I cannot shake that juvenile behavior image out of my head.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. And I am disappointed in Ilhan Omar.

She and the rest of "the Squad" don't seem to understand that their job is to represent their districts and not just the people who agree with them all the time, and that constantly painting targets on their own backs prevents them from being effective representatives. Although I enthusiastically supported Omar in 2018 I will be looking very seriously at her primary challenger, John Mason.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Has Bernie had anything to say about this?

[murielm99]

10. He never does.

He could curb his supporters. He does not bother.

[BlueMTexpat]

11. ...

Exactly.

I too am disappointed in Tlaib. But it is Bernie's actions that bias me against him, not hers.

[Sherman A1]

8. Supported him in the last cycle

Voted for HRC in the general election. I prefer Andrew Yang, but will vote for the nominee.

Not a Bernie or bust voter, not a PUMA voter. If Yang is not the nominee, I will pretty much lose interest and it will be confined to voting in November.

[ismnotwasm]

16. It affected my opinion of Pramila Jayapal

Not much can be done about my opinion about Bernie Sanders. Jayapal is my Rep. I’m still angry. I liked Jayapal. So discouraging and disconcerting

[LisaM]

46. Mine too, and I am framing a call.

I need to write down my talking points and just lay them out politely, but I will call.

[SidDithers]

17. It reinforces my opinion...nt

Sid

[Codeine]

48. Pretty much this.

Shitty surrogates gonna surrogate shittily.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. No it doesn't change my opinion.

It was just another example of his divisiveness. It did change my opinion of the three representatives involved. And not for the better.

[MichMan]

30. Did not affect my opinion of Bernie, but sure did in regards to Tlaib

[MontanaMama]

31. Stupid, unrofessional and short sighted behavior

for these women. It would not effect my opinion of the BS campaign unless this was somehow embraced/endorsed by them. If it isn’t called out as such by the campaign, it might say something about them.

[comradebillyboy]

36. It didn't change my already low opinion of the

Sanders campaign. This is the sort of behavior I expect from Bernie and his team.

[redqueen]

39. No. His hypocrisy about the crime bill did. nt

[MarianJack]

40. If Back Bench Bernie is the nominee I WILL vote for him, but...

...he WILL lose, more than likely in a landslide.

Can you imaging Dolt45's ego if he gets a second term on a landslide? BARF!

RESIST!

[oasis]

49. Hillary told the truth. Talib should do research before spouting off.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. It sure didn't help it any.

If it was just a one-off it wouldn't make much difference - I supported him in 2016 but I've kind of had it with him for other reasons - but there seems to be a trend for his supporters and surrogates to spend more time attacking Democrats than going after Trump. That's so wrong and I wish he'd tell them to stop doing it.

[tishaLA]

55. Mostly it changed my opinion of Rep Jayapal

It used to be positive and I'm afraid it's making me believe I had bad judgment.

[thesquanderer]

56. Options 4 and 6 are essentially the same. But regardless...

...no opinion stated by someone who is not the candidate nor an official representative of the campaign would ever influence what I think about a candidate.
