We are losing really good candidates way too early.

sooner we are down to two or three at the most candidates, the better.

But that always happens to us “late states.” There is always grumbling about Iowa and NH having too much influence. Topic for another day.

July 13th...we have less than four months...and the GOP convention will be in the spotlight on August 24th...and for a couple weeks after it ends...which means September. This is nuts as Trump will be hard to beat and we need to begin this process as soon as possible...so if we wait until the convention, I fear we lose the general. My hope is we have a nominee on super Tuesday and we turn our attention to the general. If we have candidates who refuse to give up until July, we are truly fucked. A primary is to choose a nominee who can win a general period.

your statement.

Great choice

should!

nt

and GOTV tirelessly. We have to get rid of Trump. We have to hope for the best. I am afraid Trump will be tough to beat ...period. I just hope we can get him out.

or which sound most realistic. That is what primaries are for. Historically the composite body of primary voter have shown a good tendency of selecting the person most capable of winning the Fall campaign. I am not worried that we won't select the strongest person.

so maybe we should rethink our primary behavior and particularly our after the primary behavior...IE vote blue no matter who and that has not always happened in our party which is very sad. I will vote for whoever is polling the best in the states we need to deny Trump and EC win...I believe that will be Biden...but whoever it is has my vote. I will then work my ass off and vote for whoever wins the nomination period.

I vote in every election...local, state ,mid terms, presidential...No GOP is worth electing even if your candidate didn't win or if you dislike he candidate. I voted for Tim Ryan before I moved to Cleveland for years even though he was anti-choice...even in a primary once because we would lose the seat ...it killed me but I did it. And now Tim Ryan has changed his views and is pro-choice. But I am in Cleveland now. But I always liked Tim Ryan personally...he is a great rep.

I know that I have had to swallow hard and vote for a democrat in primaries who was not my fav, but stood by far the best chance to win the General.

think can so the best job leading our country. I will proudly once again vote for Bernie Sanders.

We know Bernie would win that …..We need a fighter … He's been in the ring for over 50 years - in good times and bad ...Reconsider your attitude toward Bernard …..Give Peace A Chance

part of his campaign are some of my reasons for why I won't vote for him in the primaries

All the other candidates are on my list except for Gabbard.

Debating differences on issues between the candidates is one thing, but continuously denigrating what they view as "establishment Democrats", and the Democratic party, is NOT the message we need for this extremely important election

We need a candidate who can not only UNITE DEMOCRATS, but also independents, and I believe all our candidates can do that, except for two, who have demonstrated that is not their intent

right wing smears, but they are FACTS nonetheless.

His leaving the Dem Party after 2016 only to come back smacks of expecting to have it both ways.

It doesn't fly with me either.

It may or may not be intentional on Joe's part, but it certainly is the consequence of his policies.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

"it'll be up to Tulsi, and others like her, to carry the mantle. What a fine example she is setting... hope she runs!! I could see her catching fire."

but, good for you, I guess.

but to each his own, I guess.

You posted something. I had a response. So I made it. Kind of how it works.

You responded to something I posted. I had a response to that. So I made it. Really kind of IS how it works.

it did invite discussion, and that means different things to different people. Someone posted a warning not to write 20 instead of 2020 on documents, and that drew attacks.

I'm not voting for Sanders either and won't repeat the reasons I have stated many times in the restrained terms allowed here. But I will say I believe choosing political leaders can sometimes be illuminating of character and morals in ways not all realize. For an outstanding example, just look at what supporting the RW populist leader in spite of his statements and behaviors tells us about those folk.

we all have our own **** reasons!

it will be a huge turnoff to many Dem voters.

But I assume her audience tends to like smears against Democrats since they're standard items on her menu.

As in 2016, Sanders is constantly useful in her efforts to elect Republicans, especially now that she has to do it with as little mention as possible of Trump or of the intense corruptions and scary betrayals of the senate Republicans.

e-mails".

Mitchell is more concerned about getting a news "scoop" than getting the facts.

for Hillary since she arrived in town from Arkansas. Poison conservative oil and water.

But purely socially she wasn't their type either. And vice versa. I remember their chortling over a RW slander about Hillary's supposed lesbian affair with her pet groomer. THAT type.

trump.. and anyone else who did that.

in the general.

Reality is that he will be mathematically eliminated after ST.

will do nothing of the sort

in large part because Bernie Sanders just had to run again in 2020 even though he has no chance. He lost in 2016 and he will lose in 2020 after refusing to drop out yet again. So, we get to vote for Biden in 2020 and hope that's good enough. Fucking yay.

Dont get me wrong I will hold my nose and pull the lever for Biden if I must, but I'd rather not.

The track record of being and supporting Democrats is terrible.

I will not be voting for sanders in the Texas primary and I have decent hopes that sanders will not break the 15% threshold statewide. I doubt that sanders will be the nominee of the party. There are too many real democrats who ave good memories and who will not forgive or forget

Marianne Williamson ahead of Sanders in my preference list. Bloomberg is infinitely better than Bernie.

as far as I'm concerned.

My reasons are my own.

I could do 10 threads right now if that's what we're doing.

Also, if your reasons were someone else's, I'd be a bit concerned.

My reasons might also be yours.
