Bernie and Obama really pushing Hillary.

She is a terrible candidate.

The more they push, the more people resist. No one wants to be dictated to on how they should vote. And Bernie supporting Clinton, after it's been exposed that she basically conspired in the plot to sabotage his chances at the nomination makes him a total phony. I was never going to vote for him, but if the candidate I did support rolled over like that I would be disillusioned by anything else they had to say.

I wasn't going to vote Bernie but I feel bad for his supporters because they had a lot of passion. He proved to be another phony POS. Democrats only have themselves to blame because they really didn't give the American people a choice. Hillary is terrible and I've lost respect for Bill Maher to pretend like she's this perfect candidate.

I'm so annoyed at some delusional leftists calling Bernie a sellout because he endorsed Clinton.Bernie cares more about his policy than getting elected. With Clinton he can get his policies on the table which is why he held out for so long that Clinton had to make a deal. He also is using his political funds to back up various progressive candidates running for state and federal offices.

The fact is backing a third party candidate wouldn't do anything. Americans have never voted in a third party candidate. And the only independent to every win presidency was George Washington.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

Hillary could only win against Trump and Trump could only win against Hillary. Trump is incompetent and a neo-fascist. We al ready saw how incompetence can destroy everything like with George W bush Jr. So I understand why they're backing Hillary. Bernie is still putting his plans on the table and backing various progressive. You wouldn't be able to get any of that done with Donald Trump.

The election is depressing because it's the frying pan vs. the fire, but that doesn't mean that the frying pan isn't vastly preferable to the fire.

But it's pretty stupid to say that Obama and Bernie are "telling people how to vote" and people don't like that. This whole CAMPAIGN is about both sides trying to get votes. Some people don't like Obama and Bernie either, so they're not going to vote for Hilary regardless. Some people like Hilary or are at least willing to vote for her without encouragement from Obama or Bernie. But there are some people who Obama and Bernie may persuade to vote who perhaps otherwise wouldn't (like blacks and young people). Hilary will do more than Trump to preserve Obama's legacy and obviously and her politics are a lot closer to Bernie's than Trump's are. So if you truly like THEM, you SHOULD vote for Clinton.

The only people that are upset about this are Trump supporters, who see another potential nail in their coffin here, and some of your more obstinate, dumbass leftists.
