I have a feeling I am going to enjoy this group

I am already disappointed that I was blocked from Bernie group for stating my desire to support the nomination.

I can imagine some people will use "questioning Hillary's stands" as ways to put a lot of negative information out there on general discussion and attempt to avoid hides.

I will be coming over here quite a bit to check in and band together behind a strong, accomplished woman who will make history as our first female President of the United States.

I wanted to drop in and say hello

I rarely ever get on here because my schedule has been so busy, but I will probably be posting or at least reading more on DU over summer now that classes are out.

Here's a link to my post over in a main forum where I am letting people know not all of us Bernie supporters are going to fight the nominee.

I fully believe Bernie will graciously support Hillary starting at the convention without a major floor fight, and I support him in that. We need to come together to defeat Trump and as many Republicans as possible.

I like that Bernie is still staying in right now because it gives the media an excuse to keep talking about Bernie and Hillary and Democratic issues for awhile longer rather than just spew the hate Trump throws up.

Late statement on the primary. I am converting my support to Hillary

As I said before, I was all for Bernie (as you can probably tell from my username)

But I believe the system for choosing candidates is fair, and the people have spoken.

Although I was proud of how far Bernie got, and I hope he is a great ally and stays a Democrat in the Senate, I fully support Hillary Clinton for president no matter who the Republican nominee ends up being.

My college classes ended earlier this month, and I have been working with friends to see what we can do to ensure other states are as blue as the west coast in November.

I forgot which poster it is, but I owe a donation to Hillary as a way to make good on my bet about who would win California.

Hang in there, Bernie supporters. The way Democrats are coming together for direct action against Paul Ryan and the GOP majority in the House is the reason I am a Democrat.

I have finally gotten back to DU. What a busy couple of months!

I cannot believe it has been over two months since I posted. Since that time, Bernie has won Oregon, and Washington, and he's on his way to winning California.

Although I canvassed for Bernie and would like to say I got him more votes in Portland area, the fact is....I am a bit discouraged. It's like the established older generations don't see what we young people see about the direction of this nation.

Are we serious that Trump is going to be the republican nominee? I'd like to say Bernie still has a chance to win this thing, but it looks more and more like we'll be seeing two people in their 60's running against each other.

I promise that if Hillary is the nominee for the Democratic Party I will support her as a candidate. But isn't there another way? I need some hope.

For now, I will encourage my friends down in California to vote for Bernie and hope we can at least make it an interesting conversation at the Democratic convention.

I am so excited to be registerd on Democratic Underground. Bernie rebound happened this week

He won yesterday and he will beat Hillary convincingly today. This will cause people to go over to his side in Michigan Tuesday.
Don't let the doubters and naysayers get to you. Bernie will get big wins in big states very soon and take it all the way to the convention.

Hi! I am another Bernie supporter opening my voice up here

I found Democratic Underground when I was researching election information a couple of years ago, but I never thought about signing up. Now, I want to let Bernie supporters here know there are lots more of us. I am 20 years old, and this is my first presidential election.

I am fighting for Bernie here in Oregon while attending classes and helping at my dad's business. Oregon will go for Bernie, but we have lots of work to win states.

About bernie_FTW

I am a college student pursuing social justice. Bernie is the only legitimate candidate for president this year. I am excited to vote for Bernie and let everyone know we young people--especially on the west coast are all about making a change in our oligarchy we live under.
