No but they will dislike bernie just as much, which is the point.

And due to a previous dem president, they would be more likley to vote Repub then Dem.

Trump is much more likely than Sanders to win their party's nomination at this point.

[up]Recent general elections at this point have been less about wooing moderates and more about mobilizing the voter base.

sanders has more moderate appeal tha Trump, IIRC

though him getting the nomination is going to be a really daunting task with all the superdelegates hillary has right now

numbers show that they'd vote for sanders against trump by a wider margin than clinton does

and that a majority of democratic voters, including moderates, would support him if he is the nominee, something clinton can't claim to the degree sanders does

@mega:we shall see........... in may

@hil: they can switch affiliation and generally they do

but for now it my state

i hope you realize sanders doesn't have a chance in hell of getting the nomination

from an outsider's perspective, clinton is being handed the presidency on a silver platter

personally, i like none of the still-running candidates

except vermin supreme, he's great

actually our candidates are also complete utter shit so yeah they probably can

it's been more than two months since the election and they still haven't managed to form a new government

we'll probably have a new election in june

the good news are that in that case i'll get to vote

Would a June election have much prospect of getting a coalition?

maybe

the general consensus is that a new election will benefit the parties at the extremes of the spanish political axis: the pp (centre-right) and podemos (terrifying far-left)

"extreme" is relative in the pp's case

the biggest political shake-up that could occur is that podemos could surpass the PSOE (centre-left), one of the two historically major parties, in votes, or even in seats

there's the possibility that podemos will go in coalition with izquierda unida, another rather left-wing party, which historically has always obtained seats in congress, but never too many

in that case the psoe is fucked, since in the last election the votes for podemos and iu combined were more than those of the psoe

i really hope it doesn't happen

and now i'll shut up because nobody cares about spanish politics

fuck no the psoe is terrible

it's just i'd rather have the psoe representing the left-wing than the batshit insane, chavist, terrorist-supporting podemos

The fact you people think Bernie is an extremist is hilariously sad to me.

In Australia he'd have won by now.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?
