It is not a complicated dynamic.
They will if they think its the winning side. They would rather work with change, than against it.

Not if that change is against them.

Why would you think shareholders and corporations donate, because they are on team america?

Its because they are representing their own interests. If change opposes their interests they will be against it.

Only if you don't understand what happened last time and many do not.

The replies are interesting.

edit: On a side note I appreciate how much calmer CD is to twitter.
It looks like he's starting to take off the kids gloves.

EDIT: And yes, the tweets in response are just plain nauseating. America definitely deserves 4 more years of Trump if they represent the electorate.

Either way third way is hoping Warren can take down Bernie.
I just saw the endorsement from Third Way. And their explanation for why is she doesn't support single-payer healthcare. Very disappointing.

That's definitely a deal breaker for me when it comes to Warren. Now it's only Bernie or Tulsi. Otherwise, I will be sitting at home.

Oh my lord; I get so sick of Bernie whining. It's unbecoming of a 'leader' and just reminds me of Trump with his litany of grievances.

I supported him in 2016 but will not again.
The whining along with the attitudes of, and harassment by, his supporters have totally put me off.

My son has switched from Bernie to Elizabeth - mainly because he feels like she's tried to make a plan as to HOW she would achieve certain things instead of just talking about them.

I fully understand what happened and am even giving your side more praise than you deserve.

If we split the party in 2, Hillary Dems and Bernie Dems, then the actual Hillary Dems outnumber Bernie Dems 3-1

However, everyone does not turn out to vote. More importantly, everyone does not register to vote.

Lots of your fellow Bernie supporters sat at home in Feb-June and never even registered to vote. Thats on yall.

as I have stated before, I have worked on campaigns, and help register voters even when not working for any specific candidate. I told my Bernie friends I didnt like him, but encouraged them to vote for him if they liked him and even work on his campaign. None of them ended up voting.

Thats why polling in some states was off, they have to take into account people who arent registered to vote , and they assumed a chunk of Bernie voters would register and actually vote and they just didnt.
