Support post nomination

[SDANation]

Why does it seem like a VAST majority of the candidates supporters are saying they will support the candidate no
matter who it is? But it seems and I’m just saying it seems, based on a lot of the posting that Bernie supporters will not vote or support the nominee UNLESS it’s Bernie? Posts like “vote your conscience” etc. Is it a maturity thing or like a cult, as if it’s preordained and if he loses it’s rigged?

The way this primary is going, it’s sounding a lot like 2016. And if we don’t have support of everyone no matter who it is, congrats Trump will win again, and then we get 35+ years of a conservative judiciary with further erosion of our institutions. And listen, it’s not attacking Bernie, but he like trump, I don’t think will drop out if he looks like he lost. He doesn’t show that he wants the best for those of us who generally share the same ideals, when he is attacking and equating the “democratic establishment” to the republicans, that literally is allowing him to use THEIR infrastructure to run for President. Truth be told, after 2016, he should have taken a long hard look at himself and not ran but his ego is getting pumped, just like trump by throngs of adoring fans. IMHO.

Why do I and many others feel like if the roles were reversed and Biden is the nominee, there will be Bernie supporters “voting the conscience”.

1. I have no idea why you or "many others?" feel that way, I certainly don't. nt

2. Well he is telegraphing his moves when he says,

the “democratic establishment”. “They can’t stop us!” He’s saying, as many do, with a movement, us vs them. You think after that his supporters are just gonna go, well we lost, let’s support (insert candidate). Don’t think so.

4. I'm a Bernie supporter, and I will support the Dem nominee no matter who it is.

The other Bernie supporters I know are the same way, with the possible exception of Bloomberg. I do have some friends who say the might not be able to bring themselves to vote for Bloomberg.

But even for those, I think that at the end of the day, they would turn out for Bloomberg against Trump if it comes down to that, despite their reservations.
