salinsky (830 posts) http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1869880It's the Duty of Every Sanders Supporter to Vote for Hillary [View all]If you choose not to support Hillary in the fall, because of some misguided notion of what she “owes†you, then you choose to cede the election to a man who will destroy every cause that Bernie Sanders, and you, once claimed to care about. And while you may be in a position in life that it won’t affect you directly if Trump bans Muslims, repeals Obamacare, and does everything he can to hurt gays, blacks, Latinos and women, is that really why you felt the Bern this election — because you put your own disappointment over the needs of the many? Look, I get it. It feels totally unfair that your guy lost. We’ve all been there. (The election of 2000 comes to mind.) But cutting off your nose, and the collective noses of every American, out of a personal sense of pique is the last thing your revolution was about. When Hillary and Bernie were in the Senate, they voted together 93% of the time. You could do a lot worse than electing a second President Clinton — you could help elect President Trump. And then you can really kiss your revolution goodbye. http://americablog.com/2016/04/duty-every-sanders-supporter-vote-hillary.html

John Aravosis wouldn't know responsibility if it bit him on the assWe have a responsibility as Americans to use our vote to express our political choice and raise our political voice. The fascist days of going along to get along are over. What this OP advocates is ****ing stupid, because it is obvious that she is stealing this primary when the majority want Sanders.
Star Member Duckhunter935 (13,525 posts) 180. Her and her people love closedThey have not lifted one finger to expand the party like Bernie. That in itself is a big **** you. Just look at all of tbe posts on DU celebrating the closed primaries and her supporters take great pride at insulting Bernie supporters and indies. Way to convince them, or as I say., a big **** you.
GoneFishin (4,973 posts) 28. Yes. Their decision to cheat proves that Hillary knows she would lose to Bernie in a fair primary. I would not have a problem with it if both candidates got to explain their ideas to the public on an equal footing, and the majority of Americans made an informed decision to vote for Hillary. I would be disappointed, but I would feel like democracy did what it was designed to do. But this cluster-**** of cheating and deck-stacking by the DNC, the media, DWS, and election officials does not even come close to democratic. We have a *******ed banana republic election syst
salinsky (830 posts) 114. You have four options ...1) Vote for Hillary 2) Vote for the Republican nominee who will most likely be Trump 3) Throw away your vote 4) Refuse to vote There's only one correct option. Choose wisely.

It's great work if you can stomach it. Mussolini once said, "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power." Enjoy your paycheck.

Star Member Autumn (28,745 posts) 5. You think? It is my right to vote for whomever I feel represents me. My vote is not owed my vote can not be bought, my vote cannot be coerced it can only be earned. My vote belongs only to me. To do with as I see fit.
Star Member dgibby (9,129 posts) 196. Discussion?Silly me, I thought it was a decree. As for duty, I served (honorably) in the US Navy for 22 years, pay taxes, and am available to serve on a jury if called. Voting, on the other hand, is a right, and no one has the authority to tell me it's my "duty" to vote for any candidate. Posts like this are NOT helpful. They only serve to antagonize and divide. Although I'd prefer Bernie, I am still planning on voting for the Dem candidate; however, a few more posts like this one may cause me to reevaluate my position.
Star Member DamnYankeeInHouston (1,336 posts) 7. I don't owe the Clintons anything.They are anti democratic.
Star Member rhett o rick (53,990 posts) 30. LOL. Duty. You think you get to lecture us on "duty". My duty is to vote for a candidatethat will help us recover our lost democracy as clearly shown in this primary. It seems to me that those that bow to tough authoritarian leadership expect to be able to demand that we all do that. Homey don't play that game. The Left has been disparaged day after day here. The most outspoken were gang attacked until they were banned. Yep, banned on a supposedly liberal message board. Now you demand we toe the authoritarian line.
SusanCalvin (5,172 posts) 33. You do realize that the more you (y'all) hector me, the less likely I am to do as you say? (Hint - that's human nature.) Waiting with bated breath to see if there's any reply to this - nah, I'm not. Actually, I will do as I please - much as I would derive great satisfaction from going directly against this post. And what I please is none of your business.
salinsky (830 posts) 63. You should vote your conscience in the primary ...... but, Hillary is going to be the nominee. And, then you will have a choice to make. To do your duty as a patriotic American ... ... or not. Choose wisely.
The Left has been disparaged day after day here.
OK, that is great moling.
