Not when the issue is that they were intentionally lied to and manipulated.

Who was being lied to? Nobody cares about the email stufff and people with legal expertise were predicting today's result months ago. This whole spectacle wasn't actually important

Let's turn all of the shit coming from the Sanders camp and flip it to a scenario where Sanders won with a similar margin. Completely made up scenario, but Sanders supporters seem to be good at those.

I as a Hillary supporter refuse to vote for Sanders because I think he's a nut and has done nothing to earn my support.

Hillary hasn't endorsed because Sanders hasn't given on positions

The superdelegates don't vote till July

Do these seem reasonable at all?

I'm a Bernie supporter and I don't intend to vote for Hillary, but rather for Trump, because DNC / HRC fucked with us so hard this democratic nomination by election fraud, wide-spread rampant voter supression, dirty tricks, mainstream media manipulation, etc.

I could care less what Hillary's policies are. God knows that woman changes her views every week depending on who her audience is.

The establishment undermined us hard, took away our basic voting right, and scoffed at us when we threatened to not vote for Hillary by trying to intimidate us with the Trump alternative. Well guess what? I'm voting Trump to bring down Hillary / DNC. At least with Trump you know what you're getting.

No, not really. Trump changes his position every day, but whatever. That isn’t really the goal here. The goal is a protest vote against the establishment. Which has worked out so well recently for people.

You can't be serious? You're the only person here who's even tried to suggest she wasn't lying at this point, or are you saying that people don't care about the lies surrounding the email issue?

I don't think anybody cares about lies in general as long as they like the lies they're being told. The whole focus on 'honesty' is ridiculous anyway. Nixon was corrupt as hell and he would be ten times better than anything the Republican party managed to come up with over the last few election cycles.

Ah. So you don't care that an elected Trump will mean a Supreme Court that will undermine, block and/or rollback every progressive initiative, including every single issue and policy that Bernie has campaigned upon, for the next 20-30 years, including recent victories like gay marriage, or that Trump changes policies on a daily basis. Or that I've yet to see proof of this "voter suppression", because the behavior of Bernie supporters in Nevada was disgraceful. Just going to keep drinking the diehard "Berniebro" kool-aid, to be edgy and anti-establishment.

Gotcha. I can't afford to say I have the same luxury to vote based on un-substantiated feelings and vague accusations, though my vote is unlikely to matter given Maryland.

Excellent, we now have had a Trump supporter claim that his political views are so suppressed that he feels as though coming-out-of-the-closet gay people have it better than him in public acceptance. I literally can't wait to see what those kinds of sentiments will turn into as November edges closer

Maybe you are unaware of the character assassination of anyone who supports trump by the left. "Misogynist!, racist!, xenophobe!, homophobe!, bigot!". Especially someone like me in mid 20's In a state like Maryland.

It is precisely this holier than thou attitude from the left that trump is popular anyways, because they refuse to even aknowledge a position from the other side, instead cover it up with some labels and call it a day. Trump is a natural consequence of the left's arrogance, and I can only hope it comes to fruition in November.

When I come into the thread to see if there's any interesting discussion about the FBI announcement and it's just a bunch of hillarybots flaming Trump and bullying Green again for being a liberal who doesn't want to support a criminal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keep it classy boys
