Bernie & Hillary "Scorched earth" morons.......

Bernie & Hillary "Scorched earth" morons.......
Most supporters of both camps are sane, but like humanity in general, humans think too much about personalities, short term, binary "either/or" and "all or nothing". 

I'm sorry guys, but if you call yourself a democrat, stop fucking blaming the politicians. WE are just as responsible as voters long term for allowing the conditions. It isn't a matter of one magic pill. The GOP got us in this mess starting 40 years ago, long before Hillary or Bernie gained national fame. Both of them, no matter who wins will still be dealing with the same obstructionist GOP Obama has. It will still be up to us to step up the pressure on ALL our politicians and do it long term. One politician may inspire sure, and that is fine, and primaries always have verbal competition in the same camps. 

The GOP has held the government hostage because they have controlled the narrative and we have allowed them to paint us as anti private sector and commies, and instead of pushing back, our democrat politicians have tripped over themselves trying to prove they are not. As a result we end up throwing the brats on the right stuck in the candy isle "100,000 Grand" "don't tax the rich, corporate welfare, to prove we are not "commies". DON'T FUCKING PLAY THAT GAME. Dont allow them to divide us like that.

I don't think supporters of either Hillary or Bernie who hold the "scorched earth" mindset understand that there is a seismic shift in society. Now both parties voters are not happy with the economy and their own stability. That is a good thing. But only one party has the right ideas. The GOP is going to keep doubling down on the old failed trickle up crap they've sold. We cannot afford division. This isn't about one person being a magic pill. The president is one person in our three branch system, not a super hero. What matters is having a democrat in and getting more democrats in, and having enough power to get things done. And even after November, it is still up to us to maintain and grow that power in order to pull the country back to the left and away from what Reagan started. It will take all of us. Media is far too good at making it about sound bites and instant cures, and reality isn't like that at all. We have to stand together and think long term no matter who wins.

I will blame BOTH Bernie and Hillary supporters if the GOP wins the White House. This isn't about them, this is about the entire direction of the country. Only a fucking moron is willing to hand more power to theocrats, corporate welfare and bigots. If we lose, it will be that much harder and take that much longer to fix. 

Vote for either, both are beating Trump and Ted. We can win with BOTH, but we have to win.

At the end of the day, whoever is the odd person out will implore their supporters to vote for the Democratic nominee. I don't see Bernie supporters voting for a Republican. My only fear is that some of them will become disenfranchised and not vote at all. Maybe the same can be said for Trump supporters?

I've personally gone from Hillary to Bernie. My initial thought on supporting Hillary was that she might be able to do "some" governing with her pragmatic approach. Bernie would simply be cockblocked by the republicans for anything he attempted to do. Now I've come around to the idea that Bernie could executive order the republicans into oblivion. When it comes down to it, I'll vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.

The GOP will probably pull the same shit with either Bernie or Hillary but unlike meek Obama, I'm sure Hillary will make them pay a steep political price for it.

Executive orders usually deal with such things as ordering the flag to be flown at half staff when a big wig croaks or giving federal employees pay raises.

There is only so much that can be done by executive order.  Trump, being a fucking asswipe, probably does not know that.  Sanders should.
