If Sanders is the nominee, will you vote?

i'll vote in most scenarios, at least for downticket non-Tweetyborg candidates. i'll vote for Sanders and anyone else in the field except maybe Bloomberg. haven't decided if i'll hold my nose that tightly this time around. we just bought some coke for a family member, and i don't want him sneaking down the chimney in the middle of the night to snatch it and give us a firm talking to.

Yeah.... i would really question if voting for Bloomberg is even voting for harm reduction.
 
I've already early-voted for Sanders but I'm not a Sanders fan. I did it because I think he delivers the best shot at beating Trump.

Trump is such a disaster and he is so dangerous to America, posing an existential threat to our democratic institutions, that this is no-brainer. Never the lesser of two evils has been clearer.

So, original poster, I invite you to pinch your nose this time and vote for whoever is the Dem nominee, even if it is Sanders.

At worst, if he wins Sanders will be an ineffective president for 4 years, obstructed by Congress, then will be too old and frail for a second term. But at least, he will have kicked the Trump Crime Family out of the Oval Office.

So you think the candidate that Trump wants to face has the best chance of beating him? Trump is not smart but he is not a fool either. There is a reason Trump, the GOP and Russia all want Bernie and I for one do not want to find it out. Never give a wolverine like Trump what he wants, you will regret it.
 
That is a lie. The leftwing feverish supported Hitler.

You are correct that the Democratic Party is the party of war and death. There is NO war the Democratic Party has not wanted and demanded. Over 90% of American deaths have been under Democratic leadership. More American troops have literally been killed by Democrats than any foreign adversary.

Leftists gave their lives to fight hitler, leftists fought against the tyrant Franco in Spain, leftists fought against Pinochet while the chicago boys were making deals with him. In fact the soviets had a far better record of women’s rights than Franco who brought back honor killing.
 
Well, I had not thought of smacking you in the chops until that crappy post you made. I know you hate Trump. And very unwise of you and tragic in fact. You assume a lot of bad about Trump or you would at least want to keep him in office. Me enamored with my posts? Well frankly I enjoy being more the thinking type, the evidence type and willing to put my thinking up for all to examine. I recall the living FDR. How many here can actually recall FDR talking live on the radio? I have trusted some miserable presidents in my life and Trump is not one of them. I can of course spell out things about Trump that does not please me. But his job is 24/7/365 and I have plenty of time to think all of this over. I have never had a single job that was that full time. I can report some good things about Kennedy but the man was a hell of a womanizer even when in office. This petty crap about Trump can't even match the sexploits of Lyndon Johnson. I can spell out more about those past presidents than most here can. When you vote for a person, you sort of invest in them.

I have many times stated clearly that of all the Rs up in 2016, at first wild horses could not drag me to vote for Trump. I still want to turn him off when he speaks. But that does not matter as a president. What does matter is results. I became persuaded he would get results after he got some. So he gets my vote.

Internet tough guy alert!

SCOTUS, and that's about it. and who really knows what kind of justices he'd nominate? on top of that, my guess is that McConnell will just block votes on any of them, as well. whatever the Democrats do, they really need to take back the Senate.

I posted about the Democratic Party. Of course you praise communism, Stalin etc. But why are you criticizing Hitler? He established lots of social programs. In fact, his social and economic agenda was nearly identical to Bernie Sanders, the communist. That is who and what he is, not just a socialist.
 
Not even close. FDR didnt legalize slave labor nor did he prohibit unionization.

Neither has Trump. Does that stop you from hating the man?

FDR and Hitler had virtually mirror like economies or in FDRs case, he tried hard to get to that stage. Supreme court batted him down a lot of times.

I know. Democrats have a strange idea of what history shows.
 
I don't consider bernie severely flawed, so that's your opinion. As a matter of fact, I intend to vote for him tomorrow in my early voting primary. Again.

As my mom used to tell me, that's why there is chocolate AND vanilla. Everyone doesn't like the same things.

Sure. I respect your choice. Just don't agree with it.

Lol! Yes because bernie is really talking about privatizing state owned industry and letting private firms buy slaves.:lamo

The ****? Learn to read nublet.
 
He hated socialism... its why he had socialists slaughtered en masse and killed off the “socialist” branch of his party. The socialist George Orwell fought in a bloody war against the fascists in spain.

Socialists are always murdering each other, going back to the Bolsheviks murdering the Mensheviks, Stalin's purges, etc. This is nothing new, because leftists are naturally prone to violence.

Yeah but the Leftist (ha ha) actually Democrats gave their lives following the orders of the Democrat party president FDR. Make no mistake, he whipped them up into a frenzy.

We see this all over America. Let a republicans show up to speak and the Democrats show up with clubs and chains and locks on bicycle chains.

Historical revisionism to “own” the libs atta boy!
 
I've selected it three times: 2000, 2004 and 2016.

Those choices were easy to make. This year, I'd vote for an indicted ham sandwich over Trump.
So your failure to vote for Clinton in 2016 is the reason you have worse choices this time. Maybe you should try learning from your mistakes.

I just don't know if I can vote for Bernie. If I allow myself to vote for someone I find seriously flawed, for the sole purpose of defeating the opponent, then I become part of the problem. I don't believe I can do that.
I hope you don't ever try playing poker for money because you are a horrible strategist. People like you are the cause of your own problem not the solution. If people like you would have held your nose and voted Democrat in the three years you cited above the Republican party would have been obliterated by now. They would have been forced to move towards the center and you'd have better candidates to chose from.

Adults choose between the lessor of two evils all the time. You wake up every Monday and you have to decide whether you want to get out of your nice warm bed and go to work, or go back to sleep and get fired. Both decisions suck, but you make one anyway because that's what mature adults do.

People like you allow perfection to be the enemy of the good, and you are the reason are system is ****. Quit crying on the internet and make a choice like adults do.
 
My my the trumpists are full scale ****ting on history and people who stopped Hitler. Nothing escapes their depravity. I hope they never wonder why people hate them.

There should be no question as to whether to support Democratic Socialists or the Reich-Wing scourge infecting and spreading itself around the planet like covid-19. Do tell us how intelligible dumb ****’s word salad, blaming and lies will be at 6:00 EST.

I can’t imagine any sane Patriotic American Citizen supporting these GOPutiNazis who currently control the Federal Judiciary, the Executive Branch, the Senate, and State Legislatures and Governors with their Reich-Wing Social Engineering.
 
I will vote for Trump.

I was hoping to vote for Biden, Bloomberg, Klobochar or Buttigieg but it looks like 4 more years of Trump.
 
If Sanders Is The Nominee, Will You Vote?

This question doesn't apply to those solidly in the Trump or Sanders camp. Most of you will be voting. I'm asking those, like me, who see Sanders' flaws as potentially prohibitive of casting a vote in his name.

I've never been good at holding my nose and voting. I've never done it. I've never had to. We have "none of the above" here, and I've selected it three times: 2000, 2004 and 2016.

If I allow myself to vote for someone I find seriously flawed, for the sole purpose of defeating the opponent, then I become part of the problem. I don't believe I can do that.

My question revolves around turnout. If Sanders isn't the nominee, we can expect some Bernie supporters won't be voting. If Sanders is the nominee, how will that effect turnout among moderates who aren't voting for Trump? Will they hold their noses or stay home?

If the Democrat is Biden, Buttigieg or Klobuchar I will vote for the Democrat.
If the Democrat is Warren, Steyer or Bloomberg I will vote third party.
If the Democrat is Sanders I will vote for Trump.

Yes, but rightists are always just soooo peace-loving!:lamo

You were Never going to vote for the Democratic nominee. You prefer a mob boss pr*sident who’s intimidating judges, patriotic investigators, even jury members to protect life-long criminals and traitors like Roger Stone.

There's no "revisionism" (why do socialists luv that word so much?), everything I wrote was true.

If Hitler hated the left, why then were communists and socialists welcomed into the Nazi Party by the thousands?
