Reply #105: Since primary season is over here, you must be talking about the GE. [View All]

So, you're saying that you won't support Obama if he's the nominee for the General Election, and you're looking for sympathy?

Look, man, I marched against the WTO myself. Marched against I-200. Supported Burner. Anti-war marches, May Day marches...bfd. We're at a crucial point and you're not willing to support Obama over John frigging McCain? Really? And you're blaming Obama supporters for your feelings?

Buck the fuck up. Yes, if you live here, you live in an Obama stronghold. My precinct went to Obama 5 to 1 over Clinton. That, however, was months ago. And now you're saying that your friends are somehow demanding that you support Obama over McCain, and that's hurting you?

I just don't get it.

Okay, so if I were really close to someone and they said that they'd be supporting McCain, it might cause a rift between us. I can't imagine heading to Democratic Underground <ahem> to complain that I was feeling like an outcast over refusing to support the Democratic nominee, though.

If I've misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know. I'm really just baffled here.
