In a year our nominee will be out there with our full Democratic support.

[onehandle]

Get used to it

Get behind the Democratic Nominee who will accept that nomination a few blocks from me.

[delrem]

1. Hopefully, that nominee won't be Hillary Clinton.

Just sayin'
As someone who, as you say, has to "get used to it".

[onehandle]

5. Whoever the fuck it is, I'm behind them.

I'm a Democrat.

[delrem]

7. Yah! I don't give a shit about actual issues either!

And I go with the big money every time, too!

[MH1]

16. Pray tell, on what actual issue do you expect a republican might be better than either Hillary,

or O'Malley, or Sanders?

[delrem]

17. What Republican are you speaking of?

Chafee, maybe?
I think an argument can indeed be made that Chafee is *an inch or so* ahead of Hillary Clinton, in isolated areas that resemble a measles outbreak rather than a huge philosophical difference, as when Chafee castigates Clinton on her vote authorizing the Iraq war. Chafee, a Republican up 'till yesterday, can scrape to the left of Clinton on several important triangulation points.

[roguevalley]

32. delrem, one million percent. I am really tired of partisans getting into my

face too.

[AtomicKitten]

2. #FeelTheBern

[onehandle]

6. And if it is, I will feel it. nt

[Rex]

3. Seriously? Do you hate HRC or something?

That is one of the worst attempts at 'motivating people' that I've seen in a long time.

[onehandle]

4. I'm a Democrat. Not a not a certain Democrat for the General.

In a year, motivate.

[Ken Burch]

29. If you want to motivate, don't freaking bark orders at people.

You're not entitled to speak to the rest of us as if you are superior to everyone.

[delrem]

8. You think so?

How about "suck it down" instead of "get used to it"? Would that be better?

[Puzzledtraveller]

11. Yeah, like my dad used to say

You'll like it, and smile.

[Rex]

23. It all makes sense now...the poster said they were a democrat.

That clears it up.

[delrem]

24. Well. The poster also waved an icon.

The icon is very well designed, if I have to be truthful.
Distinctive.

[Puzzledtraveller]

9. Can we get some swag?

I'd love a Bernie t-shirt, beer coozie, beach towels...

[William769]

10. kick & recommended.

[Puzzledtraveller]

12. Who's that in your sig?

[William769]

13. The next President of the United States.

[Puzzledtraveller]

14. Touche'

Good one, good one.

[DonCoquixote]

15. and as that candidiate has NOT been determined

post likes this are not at the right time. Even if one seems to lead, this is still the moment where a certain candidate has to prove to ALL the party why we should support her, not just the center. You may think this hurts her, but actually, if Hillary weathers the storm, it will be because WE made sure she stated clear answers for certain issues, making sure she learned the lessons of 2008 instead of trying to bury them under a deluge of feel good denial.

[delrem]

18. Posts like this say that NOTHING MATTERS.

And a letter 'D' is NOTHING if all there is to it is blind submission to authority, so long as it is 'D'.
It's part of that damned "loyalty oath" crusade, that hit when HRC's candidacy hit.

[840high]

20. That no longer works for me.

[delrem]

21. I'd say it doesn't work for the vast majority.

That gives me tremendous and much needed optimism.

[DonCoquixote]

30. well, as much as I dislike the idea of a Clinton presidency

I hate the idea of a Bush one. The noble "I will vote 4 nader to protest the fact the dems do not want me anymoor!" ideas was tried in 2000,with disastrous results.

[delrem]

31. I hear that the Clinton and Bush families are kindred and friends.

I hear stories of brothers from another mother, of outings golfing, and when I think about it in general I hear something reminiscent of Norman Rockwell coming from the Clinton/Bush friendship.

[Art_from_Ark]

36. Yup, just like a Norman Rockwell painting

[Agschmid]

42. Oh my gosh!

A photo!

Argh!

[Art_from_Ark]

45. A picture says a thousand words

[Agschmid]

46. Well when you need a thousand words to explain what's going on...

You start making stuff up.

[Art_from_Ark]

47. Well, this isn't made up

[Marr]

19. For me, that will largely depend on the party leadership's behavior.

If they continue using the party machinery to rig the process for Hillary Clinton, I will not be inclined to support her. If she can win the primary legitimately, then fine.

[delrem]

22. The problem is that money's already been spent,

or rather an enormous down payment.

This is a $2.5billion campaign, after all.

[SoapBox]

25. "Get used to it"

Really?

Look in the mirror and see if you appreciate being ordered around.

Our house will make our own decision.

[Ken Burch]

26. Fine. Just don't assume that nominee will be YOUR candidate.

You're not entitled to that presumption, since she's just another candidate and has nothing to offer beyond anyone else in the race.

You already knew that Bernie supporters would back her if she did get the nom, so this OP was totally unnecessary.

[leftofcool]

34. Dang! You Bernie people sure are sensitive!

The OP didn't mention any candidate by name and yet ya'll go all Hillary nutz.

[Ken Burch]

35. I was going on the avatar in the OP's posts.

It is a bit of a giveaway, after all.

[Ken Burch]

27. Why do you think this kind of thread helps?

Do you not realize that disrespecting your candidates' opponents(a group that grows larger by the day)does nothing to help her chances?

Why would you ever start such an arrogant, destructive thread? What did Bernie's supporters ever do to you?

[Ken Burch]

28. In a year, we won't actually HAVE a nominee, yet.

The Democratic National Convention won't take place until July25th-28th, 2016.

[Javaman]

38. shush you! what did I tell you about bringing obvious facts to the conversation????

[leftofcool]

33. I noticed that you did not mention Hillary or any other candidate at all

and yet all the Bernie supporters come out to say "stop telling us what to do." My irony meter just went into overdrive.

[frylock]

40. much like Clinton, the OP has a history that we can all look at..

and it's not like the avatar was a dead giveaway or anything. nope.

[Orsino]

37. "Full Democratic support" is earned.

Our support will be more or less tepid depending on the announced agenda and the nominee's presentation of that agenda.

Don't "get used to" anything yet. Push all our candidates to commit fully to us.

[99Forever]

39. I'll vote for the candidate that best represents my values on the issues important to me.

Period.

[frylock]

41. get used to it. yeahhhhhhhhh.....

GOTV!

[Capt. Obvious]

43. I know people are being mean to Lincoln Chafee now but they'll come around.

[Ken Burch]

48. He'll be the best ambassador to Andorra the Sanders Administration could ask for. n/t.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

44. Loyalty Oaths are sooooo 1950s.

our full Democratic support.

I don't vote labels but I'm a Democrat.

[cali]

49. not if Hillary pulls the same ugly shit ad on 2008.

In that case, i won't just not vote for her.

[onehandle]

50. Gosh. It sounds like you think Hillary will be the nominee.

I say, Gosh!

[Cha]

51. Unity Dem! I like it!
