Given what's come out since Bernie tossed in the towel how could someone with any conviction of your choice vote for Hillary? She and the DNC screwed him royally out of his chance. You've now seen it revealed what the Hillary people (and Hillary herself) thought of him and you so how in good conscience could one even consider her?

I'm not saying vote for Trump but if you TRULY believed in Bernie why wouldn't you write his name in?

Because Clinton was a close second choice to Sanders, she easily won the primary, and is lightyears closer to my views than Trump.

Because I hate Trump and feel Clinton would get much more done that benefits liberal causes?

Well, because a write-in vote for Bernie would be the equivalent of a lost vote for Democrats. No Bernie supporter should want that.

Can't write in Sanders in Texas. They have a "sore loser" law that bars primary losers from being written in. Sad but true.

As far as "lost vote for Democrats". It was never "their" vote to begin with. They can't lose something they never had.

Bernie claimed to be a revolutionary but joined big money Clinton. Do people even know what a revolutionary is much less know what socialism is? Revolutionary my ass pfft.

Can't believe Sanders supporters could possibly stoop to voting for someone like Hillary. They would be kicking the government corruption can down the road.

While I'll won't be voting for anyone. Think HWC sums up pretty well why a lot of Bernie supporters are willing to vote for Hillary this time around.
