Same that it wouldn't be up to Bernie supporters, if the shoe was on the other foot. This isn't some silly stan battle over which pop girl us the bestest!!11 Excercising your right to vote is a personal decision, one that should be made by the individual, and by them alone. Worrying so much about the supporters, instead of the candidate and their policies, is a bizarre and immature way to choose a candidate. Who said anything about supporters? I'm talking about Hillary herself. If the shoe was on the other foot I would absolutely expect him to fight and make an honest effort to bring hesitant Clinton supporters into his camp instead of shrugging his shoulders and waving a flag labelled "vote blue no matter who" Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really though, I'm honored you've put so much energy in trying to figure me out. Take it as you will. You literally said you want her to work for your vote as if she hasn't done so already. You want her to single you out and give you special treatment as consideration when that runs counter to her theme of inclusion. Nobody is even trying to be rude here. This is a rudimentary analysis of the situation based on context. If it doesn't apply to you, that's great. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why you're having such a roadblock interpreting my post to mean Sanders supporters who are hesitant as a whole and instead merely focusing on me specifically. I mean, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're trailing me in almost every thread on this sub can be a tad unnerving.

She is constantly continuing to do so. She has far, far more detailed and actual attainable policies available and she has continuously discussed these policies in great detail. Do you need the same stump speech several dozen times like what Bernie did? I'm afraid you simply aren't going to get that simplistic, repetitive stump speech coming from Hillary. Maybe there is another candidate that gives their "big ideas" stump speech over and over that you could vote for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suck, and don't do nearly as much as they should, but people would be able to look past that, hold their nose and vote for her. However, when those who would do just that are treated with vitriol, it turns some of them away instead. I don't know why you have such a hard time contemplating that.

And obviously screaming Bernie supporters are crashing the rally. It's a VERY important context. It's like putting: "Man kills woman" in the title, putting only the parts about how the man killed the woman, and leaving out the fact that the woman had his child at gunpoint. The "they" that was used was referring to the Bernie supporters present. The quotes in the article further prove that when he says "They may be screaming" while pointing at them. Perhaps he was also shading other Bernie supporters with similar attitudes not present at the rally. Using "Sanders supporters" in an attempt to collectivize them not only ignores the fact that Sanders supporters do not all act this way, it also enforces a continued tribal mentality. He may be talking about a subsection of Sanders supporters, but he isn't necessarily talking about Sanders supporters in general. You are NOT all the same. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

You're trying to frame me as an aggressor her. Not happening ? I literally can't post in a thread in this subsection without soon after seeing your name in my notifications box. You may post in threads that I start, but 9 times out of 10 we never directly communicate in those threads until you quote after having made a response to someone else. I can't blame you, I can be a pretty interesting guy to talk to, but sometimes it may need to be a "choose your battles" kind of thing, you know?

It really couldn't be more simple. Adults shouldn't be making personal, private and important decisions based on what you are complaining about. The general election isn't a pop girl battle. Too much drama and whining over a personal decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
