(5,648 posts)I was a big supporter of Hillary in 2008 with both my money and my time. When she dropped out of the race, she turned over the records of all of her supporters to the Obama campaign and sent out several emails to all of her supporters, including me, asking us to support Barack. Naturally the Obama campaign contacted me almost immediately and I then devoted much more of my money and my time to getting him elected.
I am simply tired of childish behavior is which some Sanders supporters like to indulge. Frankly I don't give a rip how they end up voting - it is their vote do do with as they choose. However, it simply ridiculous to go around threatening that they will not vote for the eventually nominee if it isn't their guy when it is technically illegal on DU to do so. It makes them seem silly and desperate and sooner or later someone was going to call them one it.
I don't mean to offend, but enough is enough.
