73. I have been told exactly the same thing, in two versions, no less.

Oct 2015

I have been told the version you posted, word for word.

I have also been told exactly the same thing, but with a few key words changed:

That I am "wasting my vote, that to vote for Hillary, is a vote for a Republican!" That I must be a Bernie Hater!!! That I am not a real DEMOCRAT that I must be a Third-wayer, that, a vote for Hillary is a vote for a corporatitist and that I am a Republican troll on DU trying to stir the pot. That I must be a fucking oligarch....I should take my opinion elsewhere...that people of modest means will not vote for Bernie.... That the middle class doesn't vote anyway...

okay fine. So guess what? I'm still undecided, and my vote in the primary is going to the candidate that convinces me they are the one I want to see in the Oval Office above the rest of them.

Like you, none of that other rhetoric impresses me in the slightest.

Oh, I'll be harassed for a while to come. So what else is new?
