Look, fat, here's the fact, Kulak!



Donald gazed up at the enormous face. Eleven years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath those dark wrinkles. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two pride-scented tears trickled down the sides of his orange nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Hillary Clinton.

Opposing neoliberal hegemony dominating And exploiting the working class while dismantling any semblance of real representative democracy is only unrealistic if and because the so called "left wing" party never questions these things because YAAAAASE :iamafag:

Is anyone in later primary states registering Republican?

I did. So now I'm trying to pick who to vote for in the primary AND the general.

I probably won't vote R in the general, but am also looking at alternatives to writing in the Sand Man.

You should vote for Trump in the RNC primary. Then write-in Sanders for the general. Or better yet, register Dem, and vote for Sanders in both.

I don't really. He is a politician after all.

But I made a huge mistake in 2008 by voting for Barack Obama. I gave him a pass on his 2006 Patriot Act vote. Under him we've seen the largest expansion of the security state in US history.

I can't vote for Clinton or anyone who would advocate voting for her.

Gallup polling from March 2008

28% of Clinton supporters would vote for McCain over Obama.

CNN article from May 2008 on exit polls

33% - 38% of Clinton supporters said they'd vote McCain over Obama while 12%-17% said they'd stay home.

In comparison less than 20% of Obama voters were saying they'd vote McCain over Hillary.

Seems pretty comparable. People always say they're not going to vote for the other candidate in the middle of the primaries and then come around by November. Through the other option being too horrible, their preferred candidate convincing them to vote their opponent, their hated rival candidate winning them over, or a combination thereof. Which makes a lot of sense because during the primary you're focused on the differences between one side's candidate instead of the similarities while also being in an ideological competition that is woven together with 56 or so mini competitions where your team wins or loses.

my guess is if the DNC is actually giving that poll any credence they're not fretting over the 33% so much as celebrating their candidate's 13-point general election lead

I'm done voting for Democrats who are enthusiastic supporters of the drug war. Hillary is saying the same poo poo that I remember Democrats saying back in 2004 on drugs even though public opinion has shifted a lot since then. They have lost my vote until they improve on criminal justice and drug policy issues.

Major difference is bernie supporters are mostly young kids, it's hardly a reliable demographic to begin with. Who knows but a significant dip in youth vote (a return to pre Obama levels) this year if Hillary wins certainly wouldn't be a surprise.

Just look at off year elections for a perfect example, young people are the least likely to be scared to the polls. Or 2004 for that matter. Both are big contradictions to what you are saying.

You also need to keep in mind that hyper politicization across the voting spectrum is a recent thing, again even back to 04 this is quite evident-there were lots of dems that stayed home that year because they'd rather vote for a candidate they liked rather than vote against Bush. I would guess younger dean supporters were a big part of that.
