Might be a slightly unfair characterization, but almost 100% Bernie. I've never seen the hip vote align with the rural vote as far as I can remember.

A whole lot of people across wide swaths of the population are completely disgusted with the status quo. I'm one of them. I'm actually sick of it.

I HAVE seen what appears to be some Clinton support online that is not from bots. It is drowned out by Trump support which is in turn drowned out by Sanders support. I am certain Clinton's camp has used fraud but also that her base is not the type that is vocal on the net

Her base has posted kiddie porn to troll Sanders pages.

That bolded bit was supposed to be in green, right? I'm getting pasted by Hillary fans on many different forums (fora). It gets nasty very quickly.

Her base has done a lot to smear Sanders. The fake, rude, obnoxious, aggressive, cussing, nasty, shit starting (sic) "Bernie supporters" were part of that effort too.

Well, I support Sanders because I support him -- I like his approach and values. I don't support Clinton because I don't. And so on. Sanders people are not craven idiots. We are also not paedophiles and are well versed in the ways, the rumors can be spread. I think it was some skipper on her staff who got into "The Lemon Party" and thought is was clever. Also do not google "lemon party". No seriously, do not.

I know someone will. But you don't need to see it and I think that, again, it was some paid young prankster on her staff that thought it was a bright idea to put a fairly elderly man in a negative and disgusting light. Kaching!

President Trump. We may as well prepare for it

I've been arguing with Clinton supporters (people I know) since our primaries and I actually need to come here for a respite if that makes any sense at all.

The main problem now is that I have to contend with my friends who voted for Sanders in the primary but, now that they expect him to lose, have all turned and are attacking me to support Clinton.

I'm saying no to Democratic Party blackmail, Luther. If Sanders would just join with the Greens it would signal a tectonic shift in US politics, with his many-millions strong email list and database of contacts drawn from SM.

As for those Clinton supporters, show them this, not that they'll give a shit:

He simply has to go on full independent. . . . after he wins Oregon and California. He utilized the names and stuff that the DNC has in their databases in which I am one. I think Sanders will take CA. But who knows.

Would it not also be good merely by being refreshing - esp if he's going to be vote-fucked by his own party ?

Can't remember if Ralph Nader did or did not do such a thing - i'm sure if he did he was attacked for trying to 'split the left'

- When was the last time you had a credible force running as an 'independent' ?

on edit: i was thinking H Ross Perot, but memory fails me about his relationship with Repubs......googletime

Just want to say, there is a veritable mountain of evidence of wrong doing that one can mine to critique Hillary. There is no need whatsoever to attack her based on her looks or gender.

I agree, and it would be great if it were applied to all candidates.
