In reply to the discussion: If HRC IS nominated, she will HAVE to get every Sanders voter behind her to win... [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)Now you're just trying to spin around. You started off trying to blame Sanders supporters for a presumptive Hillary loss. Now you're trying to make like you actually meant something that you think sounds kind of smart. Problem is, that's clearly not what you were saying, and that it's not particularly smart.
Here's what I'm going to leave you with.
You wanted Hillary Clinton. I can't fathom why, exactly, but you did. You've pushed for her to be the nominee, and it looks like you're getting that. 60% of the Democratic party voters are with you, and most of the remainder will probably come along with the ride. But the bottom line is, whatever the result, you and the rest of that 60% are the people who got us into the situation. Victory or loss, it's your candidate, garnered through your votes, your efforts. If you're going to try to claim credit for her victory, but shift blame for loss, that just tells me you're about as committed to her as Trump was to any of his wives.
Instead of throwing shade and trying to preemptively blame Sanders supporters for something that hasn't and might never happen, how about you own up that Hillary Clinton is ultimately your responsibility, win or lose. You wanted her, you got her. If you manage to accept responsibility for your own decisions and choices, to actually put yourself fully behind Clinton, you can start phase two - actually campaigning for her. Show people what it is you love about her, 'cause I'm sure a great many people would reeeeeally like to hear what the allure is.
Be committed, be sincere, and - most importantly - don't be an asshole. You bought her, you got her, it's up to you to make sure she goes all the way.
