Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Some Sanders Supporters and Staffers [View all]patphil
(6,915 posts)47. I don't think we should concern ourselves with this.
First, I believe Bernie's camp has been co-opted with republicans who are just sowing anger and confusion.
Also, his base is loyal to a fault, and we aren't going to have much success in getting them to vote for anyone else.
Lastly, each of us is ultimately responsible for our own vote. We may be able to convince some other people of our choice, but, in the end, they are going to vote, or not vote regardless of our efforts.
Do what you can, but don't agonize about other people's votes.
We need to focus on the election and not get all stirred up about things we can't change.
Like those Italians singing from their balconies, be one voice that sings in harmony.
Make it a victory song!

Any person who will not vote Democratic unless it is Bernie never was going to.
