(1,890 posts)I posted a thread earlier tonight where one of the people attending the Bernie rally in Utah had this to say:
Nelson, who grew up in a conservative family, doesn't support abortion and is actively LDS. But he said he was taught to love each other and take care of each other, and he said Sanderss policies align with those values better than any of the other candidates.
You don't have to triangulate to appeal to people in Red states. There are other ways of finding common ground.

(15,139 posts)clear cut. It amazes me that Hillary supporters here don't acknowledge the gulf that exists between the two candidates' ideologies and positions on the issues. They seem to think Bernie voters should have no problem voting for her in November if she's the nominee, when, in fact , Bernie voters are ideologically opposed to much of what she stands for.
Asking me to vote for a candidate who lines her pockets with millions in corporate cash, cozies up to corrupt bankers, and supported the horrific neocon inspired Iraq War is asking me to violate my conscience and my principles. Not sure I could bring myself to do it.
If Hillary wins, we lose. If Trump wins, we lose. Without Bernie in the WH keeping the wolves at bay, we are good and truly fucked.
