I want to ask everyone here a serious question.
For everyone who is saying, "If your candidate wins the nomination, I will not support him/her," why is that?
Is it because of the tactics, statements, or other behavior of the other candidate and that candidate's staff, advisors, and other close confidants?
Or is it because you are disgusted and turned off by the behavior of the supporters of that other candidate on this blog or otherwise on the internet or in the real world?
While personally, I will vote for either candidate in a general election if it means the difference between a Democrat or a Republican in the White House, y'all got to take a long, hard look at yourselves and your rhetoric.
I think it would be politically stupid, but at least somewhat principled, to deny your vote to a candidate who you feel has been playing dirty pool, and whose attitude towards democracy and popular will is deeply at odds with your own core beliefs and values.
But if your whole basis for denying your vote to the other Democrat is because you think that candidate's supporters are rude, irrational, dismissive, or whatever else, then that is no basis to deny your vote to the CANDIDATE.
It's totally eighth grade, and has zero rational basis for the fracturing of our party.
Everybody on both sides needs to grow up here, but when you start playing with weapons like threatening to withhold your vote in the general election, make sure that you've got something more than "those guys who like that other guy insulted me" as a reason.
