I'm a Bernie fan, myself. But the amount of die-hard Bernie fans that have an amazing amount of hatred for Hillary is astounding. They go so far as to say that she's just as bad as Trump. If Bernie doesn't win the primaries, they plan on writing in his name in the general election or simply not voting at all. That makes us much more likely to have a republican president. The hatred for her is what makes me scared that we'll have Cruz, Trump, or Rubio as president.

I may not love Hillary, but I do NOT want a republican president, and I feel that anyone who's liberal should feel the same way. Why all the Hillary hate all of the sudden? I see so much anti-Hillary propaganda from liberals all over social media. Even in conversations, they shit on her so much. I know she's not going to crack down on Wall Street, I know she's not anti-establishment like Bernie, I know she's not a progressive. But the fact of the matter is that we CANNOT have a republican in the White House.

 

[RumblingRosco]

I really feel it is a super vocal minority that is trying to make Hillary look worse to encourage more people to vote for Bernie. In the end, I think the majority of Bernie bros (including me) will vote for Hilldawg.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm right with you. Hilary isn't my ideal candidate but she doesn't terrify me to the core like the Republican possibilities.

 

[Ravager61]

You've pretty much perfectly echoed my feelings as well OP. I'm hoping it's just a very vocal minority.

 

[Tabris]

Hillary is what is wrong with American politics. I also think Obama was weak too. You've had weak politicians bowing down to big money interests for the last 3 decades in the US. Which has led to the decline of your country for the average citizen.

One day I hope to have my southern brothers join the rest of the modern western world in our "socialist" quality of life. But it won't be through someone like Hillary.

If your income is above the median income in the US (and in a safe position not susceptible to ebb and flow of deregulated Wall Street) and you're selfish by not caring for the rest of your fellow Americans - ignore everything I just said because your lifestyle is great and Hillary is a great choice for you.

 

[atr0cious]

Bernie and his campaign have been effectively painting Hillary as one of the bad guys, so some supporters will see themselves as being absolved when shit goes bad. I now have two co-workers who have talked about this, in the East Bay, CA.

 

[ColdPizza]

This is actually an opinion of the matter. Do you think we are going to all of a sudden return to the dark ages if a Republican wins?

I see the same rhetoric elsewhere. "A Democrat CANNOT win", as if their freedoms will be in jeopardy. The whole thing is just ridiculous to me. Nothing will really happen except some money will shift elsewhere and some freedoms we enjoy (both liberal and conservative) will be eroded in the name of safety.

 

[alr1ght]

How many ardent Hillary supporters didn't vote for Obama and/or for McCain? I'd imagine very few. After the general election ramps up, they'll come around.

 

[ShOcKwAvE]

There was a huge schism between Hillary and Barack during their primary, and a lot of nasty stuff said. Eventually it calmed down and everyone united...I expect that to happen again.

 

[Platy]

As someone who lives in a country with a woman president, this does not surprise me a little bit.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Wait. I thought Bernie Bros was a slur, and Hilldawgs was turned to Hilary Bros? It's all very confusing..😟

And the alternative to Hillary if she is the winner of the Democratic primary will be who? Trump? Cruz? Rubio? The people saying they will vote for Trump if Sanders doesn't win the primary. I think those people are more dangerous than those people you're attempting to slam who will vote for Hillary.

 

[Mario]

Writing Bernie in for the general is superior to not voting at all because at least then they'll have down ticket votes cast as well.

You are seeing this rhetoric because control of the Supreme Court is up for grabs in a big way this cycle. That's why it's so important, for both sides.

Matter of fact is, if Obama wasn't the president in the last 8 years, gay marriage wouldn't have happened, for one.
It's not that catastrophic, but acting like it doesn't matter is even worse than over-emphasizing.

Yep!

 

[Trouble]

The same thing happened in '08 with die-hard Hillary supporters saying they would vote McCain or not at all (see Hillaryis44.com). It turned out to be a non-issue. I feel the same will be the case this time. The vast majority of Bernie supporters will suck it up and vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Yeah, it's really just a small contingent being very loud on their platform of choice. In reality, most Sanders voters are fine with voting HIllary - at a rate that is actually higher than the number of 2008 Clinton voters willing to vote Obama.

 

[entremet]

It's politics. It's ugly.

How long have you been following Presidential elections? This is nothing in comparison to previous campaigns.

 

[Hellsing321]

I'd imagine most will come around once we're closer to the general election and the possibility of a President Trump becomes more real by the day.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Wait. I thought Bernie Bros was a slur, and Hilldawgs was turned to Hilary Bros? It's all very confusing..😟

Hell if I know, I just like saying Bernie bros and Hilldawg.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Honestly, I put Hillary and Bernie on around the same level at this point. I'd vote for either one of them easily.

 

[Prologue]

People don't like hypocrisy.

It was this way long before Scalia died.

 

[N.Domixis]

Everyone will vote hilarry when they see trump actually having a chance.

Nothing will really happen except some money will shift elsewhere and some freedoms we enjoy (both liberal and conservative) will be eroded in the name of safety.

If one of the two leading Republicans wins, and we continue to have a Republican-controlled Congress, Obamacare will be repealed, xenophobia will be the policymaker of the day, Medicare will shrink, social welfare nets will retract, and a woman's right to choose will involve coat hangers again. So yeah. Seems pretty bad.

The is the mentality I'm talking about. When people are literally having rights withheld because of whatever, but it doesn't affect some, so they don't give a shit.

What is this bullshit? It's entirely possible to be a Hillary supporter and not be a poor-hating monster. You are basically making OP's point with this tripe.

The number one strategy of baby communists in training is twisting the argument so when you disagree with it, it makes you the bad guy

 

[echoshifting]

It's almost certainly not just Scalia's seat we're talking about here.

 

[jwhit28]

I think it will be fine as long as Bernie endorses Hilary, and Hilary talks about what she learned from Bernie's campaign.

 

[Pamplemousse]

At least Trump is entertaining. Hillary is the most boring person on the planet.

 

[LittleBoots]

A republican president with a republican majority congress? A lot of damage can be done. And don't forget about SCOTUS.

 

[Messofanego]

Hell if I know, I just like saying Bernie bros and Hilldawg.

Yo, where mah Hilldawgs at?

Damn, that sounds good to say.

 

[adj_noun]

In that there will be a regression movement? Kinda.

Let's put it this way: that's a scenario I'm more than happy to keep safely tucked away in the realm of future speculative fiction authors to suss out.

 

[Sheroking]

This is among the least respectable positions imaginable.

 

[pannagape]

Which Hillary?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Hell if I know, I just like saying Bernie bros and Hilldawg.

I like Hilldawgs, because I imaging a pack of wild dogs roaming through hills somewhere..or something.

Which Hillary?

The one you're not voting for?

 

[Kibbles]

Edit: okay people don't care to help and resort to insults so never mind.


Anyway I'm just voting for any Democrat is better than the republicans, though Id much prefer Bernie, that doesn't seem to be happening.

That's cool and all but this is America not Canada, we have different interests.

I don't get why minorities overwhelmingly support Hilary. Bernie seems a lot more invested in minorities, hell he participated in civil rights marches

Is this a troll post?

 

[atr0cious]

I'm gonna make them Bernie bros squeal real good!

Welp, thread ended quick.

What if Hillary decides to flip where she flopped and flop where she flipped.

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah. He just wants to be able to lead the country and mess with millions of people's livelihood in the worst ways. But hey, he is funny and entertaining!

Enough with that.

 

[ColdPizza]

Then this is a problem amongst Democratic voters. If they overwhelmingly voted in Obama but then neglected senate and congress then some voter education is in order. Wouldn't you agree?

 

[Trouble]

In the south it has to do with putting in the work for years. Bernie can't just show up a few weeks before the primary and expect to do well.

How wwe should name the followers of Nana Ruth? Ruthians? Ruthers? Ruthie Bros.?

 

[thelastcrusader]

Just do what I'm doing this election and not giving a fuck or voting. Both sets of candidates are ass.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Democrat voters didn't give a shit about mid terms elections and basically rendered their presidential vote useless
