My recent voting record. For the record.

[this post was locked in GD as being off topic, with the suggestion that I re-post it in Primaries]

I wont bore you with the last 50 years of democratic votes, but in 2016 I voted for a democrat in the congressional primary. He lost to another Dem, so I voted for her in the general, and she lost to the tea party incumbent. In the Prez primary I voted for Sanders, who then lost to Clinton, so I voted for Clinton and she lost to Trump. This season I first supported Harris, but she withdrew so I switched to Warren, and she withdrew so I switched to Sanders.

The Very Next Day I am told by Biden voters that I am not a Real Democrat and that the party will get along just fine without me. I have made no threats to leave the Party...



HELLOOOOOOO ST.PETERSBURG !

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

On Friday, March 6, in this forum on DU. I wont name names, as I dont think it is personal, but rather group-think. And that is the very problem i want to indicate. This level of tribalism within the party is suicidal. Regarding my 'hello st petersburg' remark: Putin sees this sort of thing and claps his hands with glee. And Trump? He welcomes it wholeheartedly. And me? I've had two posts removed and an OP blocked in the last 48 hours.
So I get the hint. I'll stick around to scavenge links and vote a straight dem ticket anyway.

and to conclude they are representative of of the majority of a candidates supporters, is not a valid assumption

There are a lot of biden supporters here who are really turning me off. Especially when they spend their whole time here posting nothing but negative bernie shit. It's NOT an attractive quality.
