Comments by "SmallSpoonBrigade" (@SmallSpoonBrigade) on "'Bernie Or Bust’ Huge Problem For Clinton" video.
For better, or more likely worse, Trump has figured out that if he wants the #BernieOrBust voters that it would probably be a smart idea to try and appeal to us. Granted he's being rather hamfisted about it, but Clinton is actively chasing us away. She's crowing about how much money she's taken from various rich and powerful groups. Which is near or at the top for a significant portion of the #BernieOrBust voters.

I think it's pretty clear that she isn't sane, I don't think that most people would consider psychopaths to be sane. The woman has a long track record of caring about nobody and nothing other than herself. Not that Trump is any better, but we could have had Bernie who is quite well educated and willing to listen to reason. He's also got more integrity than the rest of the Senate combined and has been rallying support for the people to fund politicians entire campaigns in exchange for not selling out to non-voting donors.

Considering that she's needed to spend literally millions of dollars paying people to pretend to support her online, I think it's pretty obvious why it is that we're the ones making demands. Bottom line here is that it's beyond suspicious that the candidate that "won" the most delegates has to go around paying professionals trolls to pretend to be supporters and generally troll the opposition supporters. She needs to cater to our whims because she doesn't have the votes necessary to win the GE and she's not going to have much luck getting the conservatives onboard. They hate her even more than the progressives do.

What constitutional crises? That's more or less what happened to Nixon. Voters elected him even though he was already being investigated for some serious crimes. He was then forced to resign or be impeached. Now, Nixon was somewhat more honest than Clinton, but in her case, they'll probably impeach her and remove her from office if she's actually elected. And that assumes that the voters don't care and that her campaign team stops being so incompetent.

This isn't sour grapes. This is a matter of fact, we already know that she's guilty of mishandling classified materials, that report is already out. Just because you're a low information voter doesn't mean the rest of us are. We know that she's guilty and we know that the Attorney General is already on record as saying that she will go along with the FBI's recommendations about whether or not to prosecute. And we know that the FBI is presently headed by a former Bush era appointee. You might be right that she lucks out and manages to avoid the indictment, but it requires a significant amount of ignorance to pretend like it's sour grapes that drives the accusations. It's the other way around, the sour grapes are because they rigged the race in favor of a candidate that's known to be guilty and likely to be indicted. They wouldn't have a dozen FBI agents investigating her and they wouldn't be handing out immunity to staffers if they weren't expecting to bring charges. Not to mention that the staffer who was granted immunity and who set up her illegal server has been taking the 5th an awful lot during his testimony. So, you might choose to believe that there isn't anything on the horizon, but if you look at the facts that are already in, you'd know that her odds of becoming President are rather long. Bernie at least would have some hope of winning in the GE if he were nominated.

I've noticed that myself. They don't have any actual grounds for convincing us to support her, so it's a lot of insults and blackmail about how we have to vote for her. I can't blame them, when you're supporting a candidate that flips so frequently and can't come up with a set of policy proposals to stick with, it's hard to make a case for people supporting other candidates to change allegiance. Unfortunately, it probably means that our next President will be President Trump or whomever the GOP ultimately nominates if they can figure out how to avoid nominating Trump.

Precisely. This isn't a team sport, all of the Bernie supporters I've met were enthusiastic about his message more than him. I think he's awesome, but I'd vote for somebody else in a heartbeat if they were serious about fixing the things he's focused on fixing.

Yes, but how seriously can we take somebody that's made literally tens of millions of dollars for her self and a total of $3bn between her and her husband in total? She can say that she wants to reverse it, but her activities in this regard started way before that ruling became a thing, so I'm not sure that we can assume that her steps would go far enough to correct the problem, even if she is being honest about it.
