Democratic Primaries

This comes up all the time these days. It's like the shameless repost that just won't die. So I'll respond to it in a similar way as when it has previously arisen.

1- I can offer is anecdotal evidence: myself and 100% of the Sanders supporters I know will be voting for Biden or the Big Bad Wolf if they are the Democratic nominee. You can put your mind at ease about that. This sour grapes / take the ball and go home thing you think that Sanders supporters desperately want to so would be simply fucking stupid, and I think most Democrats are not stupid.

2- If you are concerned about his supporters not voting Democratic: have you considered not calling them communist socialist anarchist militant vegan marxists?? If I were to guess, ai would guess they might find that divisive and insulting as well as profoundly inaccurate, and also necessarily self-contradicting (do you seriously think there is an anarchist wing of the party or even any shred of an anarchist movement in this country? If there were then it sure as shit wouldn't be Sanders who they thought was on their team, who wants socialized health care and increased regulation and taxation of international corporations etc etc) due to it being obviously divisive and insulting and inaccurate.

Can we just work together and maybe leave the hyperbolic name calling to the other side's idiots? Even just for a little while, maybe see how it feels?
