In reply to the discussion: Sander's supporters: What would you do if Bernie ultimately asks you to vote for Hillary? [View all]artislife
(9,497 posts)Too much has happened on this board for 1Strong to concede a point in regards to Bernie.
And we should respect it.
I think I joined this board long after it started and then it got pretty vile after Net Roots. There just seemed to be a lot of history that kept being implied. There have been a lot of bannishings and I actually saw a list that was posted with names of the outed. I checked out a lot of the posters transperency pages. Some people needed the hides, but I have to admit, 1Strong was not one of them. He got a few hides that were unbelievable and absolutely devoid of anything that could be alert worthy at all.
My feeling is, don't ask anyone to shake off that kind of experience.
I cannot forget the dog whistles of 2008 and H and when someone tries to down play it, or convince me otherwise, I can't. Why? Because it was an experience. I felt a pang go through my heart, especially with Bill. Because I really liked him, and I voted for him twice.
Bernie is a good man. Hopefully, for us, enough people will see it and vote for him in the primaries. We got momentum!
