It was Bernie voters that got the shaft.. not R voters. They will Not vote (D)
I'm a Sanders supporter, and I do not feel shafted.
I feel disappointed that more Ds didn't agree with me, but I'll get over it. Unlike you, I don't think that the person who ran second should get first prize anyway.
Probably. To me, it depends on what happens with the Bernie voters in the swing states. It's still an uphill climb for Trump though.
It also depends on the Message Sen. Sanders sends out. If he says one word like cheated or corrupt referring to Clinton and the DNC, Berny will support Trump.
Just outrage fueled again. The negative sentiment is alive and well.

Unlike Clinton, Trump didn't get 50% of the republican vote in the primaries. And now R's are jumping ship as fast as they can.

The bernie toddlers have no leverage. He's now a footnote. The bernie-bots can now resume their former activities of getting high and listening to Phish. A few might vote for Jill Stein but none of them will vote for trump.
1. I prefer slayer. Phish Is terrible.
2. Why are you still ranting on about Bernie supporters? More than half are willing to vote for you. And ones like me as you say have no power. So...move on and ignore. The only thing I'm calling into question here is the 90% number. It's seems to me to be awful high considering how the primaries went.
3. You guys need to be focusing on the general electorate for two reasons.
a. A lot of your votes are going to come from people that didn't vote in the primaries.
b. If you want any type of mandate for you canidate you need to not just beat beat trump but to at least pull normal numbers for total voter turn out. Otherwise a republican house an senate are going to make things very difficult for Hillary. This might be hard than you think because both canidates aren't viewed favorably.
It's hard to support someone who rigged your election and disenfranchised you to *********r vote into almost HAVING to support her.
The emails proved it.
If you were a Sanders supporter and you vote for $hill you are a sellout and never was about the Revolution. I don't care if he endorsed her. She was literally the textbook definition of everything he was against. He used her name in saying what he was against. If you vote for Hillary you were never about his movement. You were just riding the wave. And I won't succumb to fear mongering from Benghazi supporters just to keep Trump out. If I want change then I will vote for it, not for the same old crap that got us killing hundreds of brothers and sisters fighting in the ME along with the killing of ME children, not for the people who claim to give us jobs but then pull the rug right out from under our feet from trade deals like NAFTA (by the way, who was the buffed supporter of Nafta? And then after it got bad press changed their mind, and now is recycling into that mindset with the TPP?), etc.
You can't claim to be for something and then vote for the antonym of what that is. Definition of a hypocrite and a sellout.
If you want real change to our politics, then vote for that change, and that is third parties. Only third parties can bring change, not the same old paid-off and lobbied politicians who say the same crap every four years to get elected only to do the same old crap as the last.
