I think that if Hillary wins the nomination, there will be plenty of stark differences between her and the republican nominee to convince almost all Sanders supporters to vote for her in the general election, but perhaps those differences aren't as apparent now.

She will say whatever she has to, it's actions that count

She has been all over the place during her career based on doners and political expediency

That's not uncommon but sanders has been consistent for half a century so I'm all in for Bernie.

The Democratic Party lost my support under Obama and Sanders is the only reason I'll vote for them this time

You're saying what I was saying, except you're calling me an idiot. Classy there, bro.

And it matters that it was more pro Hillarry, because the applause that occurred during the debate for her shouldn't be used as a yardstick of what your average voter thinks when watching this.

Hillarry Potter magicked the American people into clapping for her

semi-serious question, i have to wonder about how old a lot of sanders supporters are. this is my 5th presidential election and i remember thinking like this when dean and obama were running. turns out that kerry (and clinton had she won the primary in 08) were very similar policy-wise. but if this is only your first or second presidential election, then yeah, i get why you might think sanders and clinton are miles apart.

Real talk. I interned in DC over a summer a couple of years ago and there were frequently LaRouchies hanging out outside of my metro stop. Seeing Obama-is-Hitler signs next to "restore Glass-Steagall" and "End the Climate Change hoax" ones was a real trip. Those guys own, I think I know who I'm voting for :D

Thinking that was a flub and not Clinton's telling the poor to gently caress themselves and cheer leading the patriot act are hilarious. DnDers are the biggest fake progressives on the planet, you talk the socialist game but go right of center in an instant because the pure iconic socialist doesn't exist and never will.
