129. I pledge to support Hillary if she is the nominee? Do you pledge to support Bernie if he is the nominee?

131. Absolutely not
I'm a Democrat. He is NOT a Democrat. I wouldn't vote for him if you held a gun to my head, just like I would never and have never voted for a republican in my 38 years of voting. In fact in the minuscule chance that he was nominated I would never give another red cent to the party, knock doors, or phone bank for Dems.
Not in a million fucking years. And frankly, at least 50% of that feeling could be credited to his supporters who have spent the last several years smearing the shit out of real Democrats.
So no, never, ever, ever would I vote for him. Never.

(27,787 posts)Not voting for the Dem nominee given what we face on the other side is rather stupid.

(26,620 posts)I'm surprised you got an answer to that question. I never have.
So, the question is, do the TOS only apply to Bernie Sanders supporters?

Because I wanted you to complain about a right wing source Dec 05
The Bernie people posting here are not Democrats Dec 03
He's a real progressive? Dec 03
Oh, the old "you're too stupid to understand" gambit

(2,074 posts)I hate the Republicans with the passion of a white hot sun. Heck, the DNC could nominate Rahm Immanuel and I will still vote for him. I'll vomit on my way to the polls, but I'd still do it.
So yes, I will support Bernie, or Hillary, or Martin, whichever one's name is on that ballot next year. Because whatever their differences, and whatever my personal feelings, my vote is for sanity instead of insanity.

(24,470 posts)Anyone but the GOP. I remember what resulted from the 2000 election all too well.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)Your example is a shining one, but this one actually mentions Republicans favorably:
#59 says:
"My friend - I'm well aware of all of this
Check out my posts re Buono in 2013.
And this turn - this election -
I'm not that keen on voting anyone - at any level - back in that is currently wherever they are at. One exception - I'm working with a few (mostly republicans) to get our liquor laws changed. They are from 1949 - it's time to change things. Bring my preoperty taxes down and lets get some wine and cigar bars on our main street.
That said - point blank - I don't believe in Sanders platform or approach and I won't vote for him.
I simply won't."

(16,184 posts)If Skinner decided to ban just on the basis of someone saying they personally won't vote for someone if they're the nominee, half the Bernie Sanders supporters here would be gone.
Douglas Carpenter
(20,226 posts)certainly not half or anywhere near it

(36,926 posts)And this about the 100th pledge, to support the Democratic nominee, I've had to "sign" here. Pretty sad that this is even a question on Democratic Underground.
msrizzo
(796 posts)Yes, I will vote for the nominee. Absolutely.
MineralMan
(146,288 posts)I have done that every election, starting in 1968. I have no plans to change that practice. I encourage all Democrats to do the same.
