Even if you hold your nose, can you imagine yourself casting your ballot for the Death Penalty?

[cherokeeprogressive]

There aren't enough fingers in the world to pinch my nose tight enough to keep that stench out.

As sure as the day is long, a vote for Hillary Clinton whether it be in the primary OR the GE is a vote for the Death Penalty.

I would mention that the Death Penalty is disproportionately applied to PEOPLE OF COLOR, but I won't. That would be almost unfair.

Vote for Hillary. Vote for the Death Penalty. Vote for the US GOVERNMENT killing its People of Color. Vote with pride.

1. Going to be hard

If I have to vote for Clinton, I will, but that thought will definitely be on my mind. No real Democrat supports the death penalty.

[thesquanderer]

2. Well, I voted for Obama.

But there was no "no death penalty" option available, either.

[quaker bill]

3. no, but then we don't believe in it

[restorefreedom]

4. that is a biggie for me.

hard to believe any dem supports it any more.

[cherokeeprogressive]

5. And her supporters here call her the only "real" Democrat in the race.

Odd, that.

[restorefreedom]

7. i guess it depends on what the meaning of "democrat" is. nt

[NCTraveler]

14. "hard to believe any dem supports it any more."

Spot on.

[restorefreedom]

25. hey i like your new avatar. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. Research is your friend. DOH!

18. so you held a position supporting the death penalty

...and now you're badgering DUers, not for holding that position, but for supporting a candidate who believes as you once did.

Cognitive dissonance.

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Call it what you like. What I once was; I no longer am.

And I support a candidate, the ONLY candidate, who believes the way I do. What I think everyone should believe.

[JI7]

22. i think this is more about opposing Clinton than opposing

The death penalty

[farleftlib]

8. The DP is barbaric and has no place in civilized society

And it is racist in its application. No government should be in the business of killing its citizens, especially the ghoulish spectacle that is the DP in this country.

[NCTraveler]

10. Yes, I can. Nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Imagine it then, and vote with pride.

[NCTraveler]

15. Roger that. Nt

[Logical]

17. LOL, not a shock. nt

[JRLeft]

11. Voting for a ground war. She's ready to start more of them.

[bigtree]

13. voted for Obama

...I was told he was more progressive than Hillary.

I don't think Sanders is going to single-handedly end the death penalty. I'm more focused on other issues where the president has the potential to make a significant difference.

[Samantha]

16. No, I cannot imagine voting in favor of the death penalty

When it was announced the death penalty was being abolished here in Maryland, I quietly cried for joy. Martin O'Malley did a lot of good -- some great -- things here. I was proud of my state for that.

19. you supported the death penalty until just a few months ago

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Wow. Now that I think about it, I'm just like Hillary Clinton in some respects.

The difference being; I'm on the right side.

[JI7]

23. i opposed the death penalty longer than you have

[LexVegas]

26. Most of us have. Makes one question the veracity. nt

[liberal_at_heart]

24. not to mention war. No I cannot vote for someone who is for the death penalty and is so

pro-war.

[TeddyR]

27. The death penalty

Is an appropriate punishment in certain situations. Such as criminals who torture and murder children, cop-killers and terrorists. So yeah, I'm ok with it

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. Yes. And without holding my nose ...

particularly, in the context that HRC has spelled out as her support of the death penalty.

And stop using "the US GOVERNMENT killing its People of Color", as a canard ... or, at least present her support honestly.
