"There are several petitions being circulated by the supporters of Bernie Sanders asking people NOT to support the Democratic nominee if Bernie doesn't win the primary election. This is not activism, this is anarchy, and it subverts the election process upon which our democracy was founded. "
"This is how bullies act when they are stood up to. They throw a tantrum because they do not understand how someone is standing up to them. They cannot stand the fact that they are being called out, and they want to quickly crush any talk of that calling out."
Bernie and his supporters are becoming "hostile and vitriolic", they know the Democratic Nominee isn't theirs to have!

.. I like Bernie although I perhaps won't vote for him in general election. Every single candidate has supporters who are hostile and vitriolic. Many people have strong opinions and at the end of the day, most of us believe we all deserve a better America. Bernie's supporters are not your enemy. by the way, I don't think Bernie himself is hostile and vitriolic.
Every candidate has supporters who are extreme but as Ringo said, the kind of comments that are said to Hillary supporters by purported Bernie supporters on a daily basis are beyond extreme. I can't even type many of them here because they would be filtered.
But even less vitriolic - why on earth would people say that Ringo and I have to be the same person? Hillary has more votes than any other candidate in either party. Ridiculous to say that she can only have one person posting here in her support and we have to be the same person under two separate profiles. And I've lost count of the number of times I've been told I'm being paid to post here. There are plenty of people who post far more frequently in support of their chosen candidate and/or against others, yet they don't repeatedly get told they are "paid shills."
What is clear to me is a lot of these people are a lot more anti-Clinton than pro-sanders. I think having a woman as the candidate is scary to white men who want to think they are progressive, and saying they support Bernie is giving them cover to not support Hillary.
Every time I hear his speeches - it more about Hillary than it is about HIS plans.
Initially I was vote blue no matter who but between his ugly supporters AND his scorched earth tax plan AND his seeming disinterest in anything other than Wall Street ~ can't do it.
I also don't think Trump or Cruz will be the Republican party nominee. I think it will be someone much more moderate.
IF it's Cruz, I may have to rethink my position.
I'm stuck because I always said I would vote for Sanders if he became the nominee, but he has shown that his main goal is winning no matter what it takes, not winning for the American people.
This article in the Boston Globe expresses some of the feelings I'm now having about this campaign.
"Sanders is increasingly embracing the tactics he once decried."

A laughable article. Boohooo, instead of highlighting what a perfect candidate Hillary is, he has the chutzpah to point out her many, many flaws. What a dark turn. Awful.
Clinton attacks Obama for accepting oil employee donations:

LOL - The video you posted just proved that her voting record shows she does not favor the oil companies!
Also, that's a very poor argument. You are using an ad the candidate you believe is dishonest ran in 2008 to prove that Bernie Sanders is honest. Somehow that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
