Really? You have two people here who say they'll stay home if faced with the choice of Trump or Biden. That sounds pretty fucking retarded to me.
I don't have any problem with them preferring Sanders over Biden but this Bernie or bust attitude is just fucking stupid. It's childish. OBVIOUSLY, Joe Biden's ethos is going to more closely match a Sanders supporter's ethos than Trump's - by a wide margin. This is like a child throwing a tantrum because he/she is offered a cookie but not the one they wanted.
It's not retarded or childish. It's just deciding not to cast a vote for someone you don't like. For years, I've only voted if there is a candidate I actually want. I don't do votes for desperate parties. Get better candidates or expect to have to work harder to get your party to vote.
Say a Bernie supporter isn't Democrat. How do you gather you're owed their vote?
