Hug someone you care about...
Nervous that Trump could defeat Sanders? Isn't that something any democrat would be nervous about?
He can beat Pete too. Your point?

You need to work on that. Because no matter what happens a lot of people are going to be disappointed with the nominee. And if they spend any time crying about it instead of voting for the actual nominee they're part of the problem not the solution.
Oh, and thanks for the negative rep. I really appreciate it.
I, for one, am a Bernie skeptic. I think he's just another careerist who happens to be loud about his agenda, but won't get the results even if he is elected. Bernie Bros do not believe in compromise, and they're going to eviscerate him as a sell-out when he's forced to do it, even if Dems control both houses (unlikely).
Because facts matter despite your assertions.
The Dems need better turn out in those states. Those states liked Bernie better. Not exactly Quantum Physics here...
I just think there is a certain type of democrat who would have a better chance of beating him than Sanders. Maybe I am underestimating the appeal of Bernie, we'll see.

Questioning if Bernie is the best candidate to beat Trump (crying not required) doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with actually pulling the lever for him. I begrudgingly voted for Hillary last time, will do the same for Bernie and even smile and argue on his behalf in the meantime. But it's not bizarre, crazy nor illogical to at this point in time question whether or not Bernie is the best chance to vote that a-hole out of the White House.
I predict Buttigieg is going to be the first of the remaining group to suspend his campaign. His war chest is just about empty, and the demographics of the races coming up in the next week are not good for him. Minnesota? "Elena" has the moderates sewn up, you betcha. New England? Warren/Sanders territory. The South? Not voting for a gay dude anytime soon. California? All but a lock for Bernie.
He's pretty much painted into a corner. Only thing left for him to decide is when he will announce, "South Bend will always be home. But after rest, reflection, and time with our dogs, Chasten and I have decided our next chapter is in (*insert purple state here*)..."![]()
Independents just want a milquetoast centrist

Sure. And you realize you're in the minority, right? That's why Hillary lost. Democrats wouldn't come out and vote for her. So, it's entirely logical to start nipping that **** in the bud right now.
No because this data is more current.That data is nice but wouldn't you need to know who those independents voted for last election?
Where's the evidence that they'll come out and vote for Sanders? This is all speculation on everybody's part. The nuances of the electoral college could also end up doing the same thing to him as an influx of college age voters in California won't offset a loss of old timey Dems in PA for example.
Who's talking about Sanders? The rule is simple. No matter who the ****ing nominee is that's who you vote for. Are a lot of people going to be disappointed? Sure as **** they are. Doesn't matter.

I'll ask this again. Is this your rule all the time or only in this case because Trump is involved?
The first article I can find (Sept 2016) shows that her lead narrowed among independents 38 to 36. She didn't poll particularly well amongst them.Huh? What I'm saying is what if that data is the exact same breakdown as it was for independent voters between Clinton and Trump. What were the numbers on that?
