So three young women, Sanders' supporters are not sure whethery they would vote for Clinton

(on MSNBC)

Great. Let's see how much they like it when their reproductive rights are curtailed by a Trump Supreme Court.

Why are people so stupid? Oh, one of them complained that Sanders was the last speaker. As Rachel commented later, she does not understand that the last speaker is the most important slot.

Been there myself!
The fact we have declared Green Party voters taking up space at OUR convention is an outrage.

Just curious because I was watching the convention with the 360 degrees movement. This person with a blue shirt kept holding up a sheet with something written on it only to get attention from MSNBC. She would look back and when the camera was put on her jump up with the white sheet. Seemed like a nutcase.

Or did what they have to say fit a certain narrative? A narrative, I might add, that is contrary to the talent, kindness, community and togetherness that was on display this evening.

The last woman commented on Clinton's voting record. I with the reported had noted that Clinton and Bernie voted the same 93% of the time.

please understand the ramifications here.

Some of these states are truly "for" Bernie Sanders.

Understand the nuanced ramifications.

This is democracy in action.

and tomorrow during the roll call they can still cast their votes for Bernie.

But to support a third party nominee? Then go to that party convention.

They are spoon-fed their outrage talking points, and this is about their last show/audience. They were actually kind of laughable.

It was all about their feelings. They are reacting to emotions. Not a one of them seemed to have considered the long range and wide reaching consequences for not voting for Hillary. They are basically single issue voters, but I still can't understand why TPP is their primary interest.

It will fatten their wallets. Most Sanders supporters are already onboard and believe that they need to do what is right. Don't let the MSM fuck with us and turn us against each other.

Do they really think Green party or libertarians are going to give them what they want.? They are clueless and need a rude awakening, maybe with a history lesson about elections that go bad.

How do you get to be a delegate anyway? Shouldn't having an IQ above 20 be one of the prerequisites?

tomorrow, not Thursday, or that Bernie speaking last is a fucking honor, not some demotion, or that a ton of Bernie supporters spoke tonight.

I mean she doesn't even know basic things about her own candidate and the people who supported him and the process. Yet we are supposed to take her fee-fees into account?

They funded a bargain basement revolution and unless they get it, they'll kick and fuss all the way to November. Then they'll quietly vote for Her so they can join the victory party.
