Democratic Primaries

The purpose of this board is to elect more Democrats and fewer republicans. The sanders supporters who voted for trump or third party candidates are not true Democrats and I believe that such votes are not consistent with the goals of this board. This is from the Terms of Service for this board

I hope that the sanders supporters who post on this board did not vote for trump or third party candidates such stein. One of my major complaints about sanders is his extremely poor judgement on staffing issues and the fact that sanders has hired and not fired people like Sirota and stein voters is a major issue for me and others.

Luckily 80% to 85% of sanders supporters are going to vote for Joe Biden. As with most things, sanders support has decline significantly form 2016 and so I am encouraged that only 15% of sanders supporters are stating that they will vote for trump. As pointed out by the Magistrate on this thread, there is reason to believe that is sanders does the right thing and drop out, that number with decline.

I will vote for the nominee of the party and I hope that other members of the board do likewise. I have been a member of the Democratic Party for a long time and I have bene working hard to turn Texas blue. We are gearing up for voter protection and I am involved in helping to organized a statewide organization of Democratic lawyers. We need to defeat trump. One of the reasons why sanders is losing right now is that many members of the party fear having sanders at the top of ticket. I know that if sanders was on the top of the ticket we could kiss down ballot races in Texas goodbye

I see no need to appease the group of sanders supporters who will only be happy if we disregard the desires of the majority of the party and anoint sanders as the nominee. I see no need to bend the knee to these sanders supporters. The 15% to 25% of sanders supporters who helped to elect trump are not real democrats and I personally doubt that many of this group are on DU
