6. Have you pondered that some of us might simply hate her guts?

That we have serious unresolvable ideological splits with her that can never be resolved and from which we can simply never support her? That our animosity may not be bridgeable with a candidate that we consider to be as bad as any Republican?

I like Sanders. I like O'Malley. But I know why I am invested in this primary and it's to work to deny Hillary the nomination because if she procures it, I cannot support her in the GE.
