In the end, we have to vote our conscience and that is all any of us can do.

If Bernie is our nominee - I will certainly support him over Trump.
If you're female, you wouldn't have the right to vote if it weren't for Susan B. Anthony's vision. She didn't have a chance either.

Take a look at what Chris Matthews, a strong Hillary supporter said on MSNBC the other day...Lambasting the RNC...a slip of the tongue and incredibly awkward.

Trashy right-wing hate site. Is that the best you can do? Sanders supporters who use those to support their arguments lose cred fast.

I know your type. Happily accept the benefits and sacrifices of those who have vision, but doing nothing to implement actual change yourself.

So Hillary will work well with a Republican-set agenda in congress to implement minor improvements in Obamacare. Wow. Thrilling. Sounds like real change to me! <Yawn>.

I said votes, not super delegates. Hillary is leading in the majority of polls. If those numbers hold up, she gets more VOTES. Not super delegates. VOTES. Meaning more individual voters in the Democratic primary chose her over Bernie. If that is indeed what happens, Bernie supporters need to live with that instead of crying foul.

And in any case, super delegates have been around for decades. Just ask Sanders advisor Tad Devine, who helped design the system.

That is the Democratic primary process Sanders chose to enter. Complaining that the rules haven't been changed in his favor to apparently hand him the election even if more people (again, individual voters) vote for Clinton is far from rigging.

The Debbie Wasserman Schultz thing about rigging the primary is all over the Internet. There are petitions by moveon and other liberals to prevent superdelegates from declaring before the voting.

Do you think that you can wave your hand and nobody will see and smell the stench of back-room cigar smoke politics around the DNC and Hillary's nomination? Go ahead. Google it. The issue has traction.

Were you unaware of the superdelegates prior to Bernie running? Is it your suggestion that Bernie was unaware seeing how he's been a superdelegate himself?

Sanders supporters seem to get all their information from right-wing hates sites. Why is it they spend so much time there?

Do you suppose some of them are actually right-wingers trying to promote the Bern?

The funny thing is that many Hillary supporters mostly support her because they think she is electable, with her immense support among African Americans and loyal Dems, and count on the "berniebots" to vote for her in the general. I am voting Jill Stein if she is the nominee and I know lots of others who will do the same or stay home as they refuse to accept being locked into an abusive political system. I will continue to phonebank for Bernie until the convention though. I have already phonebanked 3000 people so far this election.
