If Clinton Wins By SD's - Will MoveOn Endorse Her?
come August, Obama still leads in popular vote, pledged delegates. Super-delegates overturn at convention and Hillary is victorious. What will the democratic base of the democratic party do? You know those activist on the Internets.

1. They should endorse Nader or something.
Just to say to the future candidates "Don't fuck with us."

6. I don't support Nader.
Never have, never will. He's more of an egotist than Hillary and Obama combined. But if Hillary thinks she can insult the Progressive Wing of the party to try and score points with moderates and repugs, she's got another thing coming.

28. um but saying you'll vote for mccain if obama is the nominee is ok?
I didn't hear advocacy... because he was talking about what a NON PARTY entity should do

my daddy never had to tell me not to poke sticks at a strange dog...

that dog might've had a bad experience with a stick...

but since you're there and I'm here?

3. Probably back Clinton -- but hate it and then support any better candidate in four years ...
If some miracle happens and the witch wins.

16. what's with calling Senator Clinton a witch?
I see this kind of misogyny increasingly from Senator Obama supporters. Supporters who choose to alienate over 1/2 of the electorate in the United States will NOT get their candidate far in an election no matter what organizations supports them.

18. I'm a feminist with lots of pagan friends. Stop playing the gender card.

Okay, I'll call her a bitch and a whore. I say the same thing about Bush and McCain ... her good friends, of course.

20. What is dividing us is Hillary Clinton. The victims fighting back aren't the problem - the bully is
Trying to silence the victims from using their only hope of expression ... language ... only further frustrates the situation.

22. Oh, so you're a bully now?
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 05:19 PM by melody
Yes, let us bully the others so we can have freedom. :eyes:

I've been here for eight years, ducks. You haven't. I'll talk to my five friends who are moderators and get *you* tombstoned if you don't respect others' right to disagree with you, how's that? ;)

13. As will over a large block of the Dem electorate...
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 04:47 PM by RiverStone
Move On and not vote for any candidate who gets the nom via the will of a few elite party bosses, over the will of the electorate and pledged delegates.

It would cause a clusterfuck of unprecedented proportions for our party.

I doubt the SuperD's will let this happen.

12. you won't need to worry about it.
If the SDs give the nom to the candidate who loses the majority of pledged delegates and popular votes, the party will be done with anyway.

15. But There's Clinton Supporters Who
would be okay with this. I understand why Bill & Hillary wouldn't have second thought about turning this around, but I'd like to think American's are basically fair and would not support this. Unfortunately there are dems out there that would support this.
