Choosing a candidate and voting for the candidate who best reflects your values are two different things.

In my case they aren't. Bernie isn't a fringe candidate, he's either first or second in polling. 

If your point is that I'm ignorant of how the primary and ultimately convention operate, I'm not. I'm simply saying now is the time to vote for the candidate you like best when you have a large field, not one who you think best has a chance in November. The two should be the same unless you're operating under the assumption that your candidate is intentionally not trying to reach as many voters as possible.

As someone who voted for Ron Paul (values) and did not support the party nominee (more than once), I find the discussion of the last couple of pages highly amusing.  I vote my conscious and don't apologize for it.  No political party owns me or my vote.

A real life Gary Johnson voter going on and on about Bernie supporters voting for Jill Stein is pretty hilarious.

Brisket and Henry and Hugo and the other complete dullards want to ignore basic history and pretend history doesn't matter.

25% of this woman's primary voters went to a Republican in 2008.

Bernie Sanders endorsed her wholeheartedly at the convention and did 41 campaign events for her. He will do exactly the same thing for any other Dem candidate if they beat him. (Hopefully only if they beat him legitimately, I hope he just takes a 6-month break from campaign talk if there are backroom convention shenanigans. But knowing Bernie, he'll be a team player.)

But, it's OK, because Hillary is hated and it's good to be hated by someone who is hated.

Hey dude you can choose who you support by voting for who reflects your values all you want. I’m not saying that’s wrong. I’m just saying that’s not the “point” of the nomination process.

Steyer is running for President like a guy that just wanted to join a political version of fantasy baseball camp. He's just happy to be here and seems awestruck that he gets to hang out with other candidates.

Her tin ear is legendary.
 

It’s amazing, isn’t it? She’s really bad at this. Only an institution as stupid as a political party could watch her for five minutes and say “we should stake this lady to win a national popularity contest”.

almost as tone deaf and stupid as having a hedgefund titan run 2 years or so after one of the worst financial crisis in the countries history.

It's almost like both parties are filled to the brim with mouth-breathing, out of touch morons.

I wasn't amongst the dullards?  I knew it was one too many posts about Bern being a good honest guy, even though I don't agree with many of his policies.  I won't be making that mistake again.

you gotta fear-monger way harder, and trash berns like 8-10x per day to play the big room.

until then, you're just among the other dullards receiving votes.  you're okie st basically.

Hello 2020 Democratic Nominee thread.  I reliably voted Republican for my whole life until the GOP started harassing people who look like me.  May I have a moment of your time for a lecture on who your nominee should be?

I'm sure Brad P for the Trump campaign is on this; he's been trying to microtarget voters because Trump is losing suburban women so cue the 'socialist' fear spam heading to Facebook in the coming week.

OJ has nearly a million followers. In the Twitter age, the 15 minutes never ends. 

People keep talking to her and asking her questions. She's like that neighbor that you make small talk with that cannot pick up on the cues one sends that say, 'this conversation is over, I have things to do today.' Because they keep engaging her, she responds. She appears in good health and with energy, taking that volubility to a senior center or Meals on Wheels program and providing comfort and conversation to others would help transition her out of the public sphere. I really wish she would do that. It's time, really it is. Stay active, stay engaged on a local level with good works as other former politicos do, but stop answering the questions.

“National polls don’t matter, only state polls!” - Berners, yesterday 

Warren didn’t win that fight. Her instincts are terrible.

Center-right trolls here constantly peddle the "Dems in disarray!" right-wing talking point, but it's BS.
 

I mean there is a Bernie bro in another thread hoping Gabbard wins a frivolous lawsuit against the Dems’ 2016 candidate

In a stunning turn of events, CNN polls are now beacons of truth.

Second Bernie worker advocating for "re-education camps" 

Seems a bit violent, but it's cool Bernie. You can keep paying them to spout the good works of Stalin and his love of the people.
