Here's How Many Bernie Sanders Supporters Ultimately Voted For Trump

And another 13% didn't vote for her, which is the same as voting for Trump.

So gross!

I'm guessing the most vocal anti-Clinton Bernie Bros were just Trumpette Assholes, as suspected.

Nina Turner was/is one of those cunts.

No comment!

***Crickets***

Maybe if Bernie gets the nom in 2020, some of us Hillary Clinton supporters should return the favor this November.

How many delusional Berners do you think showed up on election day and WROTE IN Bernie Sanders?

That number was more than an asterisk I can guarantee!

So Bernie supporters are basically responsible for Trump

More Hillary voters voted for McCain in 2008 than Bernie voters voted for Trump.

R7, if you want to be incredibly petty and help re-elect Trump, I guess.

R9, they weren't really Bernie supporters, they were just rabidly anti-Clinton Trump supporters.

McCain is nowhere near Donald Trump, you fucking moron

Bullshit r11

Which part R13? And why do you say that?

The ones that blow me away are the voters who voted for Obama (some of them TWICE) and then voted for TRUMP in 2016.

I mean WTF?!?

R12 R13 Maybe you think Gallup was lying as well, you stupid cunts.

They hated Hillary that much, R15.

And if by some freaky chance Bernie is the nominee and his haters don't vote for him they are no better than the Bros who didn't vote for Hillary or who voted for Trump. Don't kid yourselves. You are no damn better. There is nothing, not your petty hatred of Bernie or Liz or whoever. We need to get Trump the fuck out or by what most in the know say it will be the last election we ever have. The country once known as the USA will be gone by 2024. It's not drama or Oh Mary, it's the truth.

No matter who the nominee is we vote for him or her. Maybe Bernie would pick a good VP. I doubt he'll make a full term any. Content yourself that even if you vote for him he won't be president for that long.

For god sake how can anyone still want to play these childish games when we see what Trump and McConnell and the rest are doing to this country. If you think maybe you have money and what he does won't hurt you, think again. Something he does in another 4 years will end up hurting you, bad.

Anyone who doesn't vote for whoever the Democrats nominate has to be such and evil fuck as selfish as they come. Believe me, you will be sorry. You will hate yourself. You think the 2016 Bernie supporters were so horrible and here you want to be just like them. WTF!!!

These are people who have a very shallow conception of politics.

At the very least, vote for the person who will nominate better judges. That's what conservatives do.

Bernie supporters who hated HIllary and voted for Jill Stein over her are also responsible for Trump.

They showed Clinton by giving us 4 years of hardcore conservative rule from an idiot, they probably think it was worth it.

Do you think it will be worth it if you do the same? If Trump gets in for another 4 years, no with nothing to lose, will you think "Boy, I really showed those Bernie supports didn't I? Will you feel proud of your insane, childish revenge? Yes, two wrongs always make a right. Has your life taught you that. If so you've lived a fucked up life.

Susan Sarandon is also to blame for Trump.,

Bernie’s a Russian asset. There’s got to be someone that’s not a Russian asset we can vote for.

Right now, we have options other than Trump or Sanders, THANK GOD. I sincerely hope it doesn't come down to that choice, which would just be switching one narcissistic nutjob for another. We have choices, still, and I have hope for some of them.

Toxic horde.

Shocking. Not.

And it cost one of those Bernie/Trump morons his career in gay porn.

Like you did in 2008 when 25% of Hillary's primary supporters switched to John McCain in the general election? It'd make Hillary's voters pretty consistent in turning against the party's nominee if they went for payback with Bernie too.

R16 McCain was not a PUSSY GRABBING NAZI, you fucking moron!

All this could be a moot issue if Bernie was in an assisted living facility where be belongs rather than playing spoiler.

[quote]Maybe if Bernie gets the nom in 2020, some of us Hillary Clinton supporters should return the favor this November.

I would, except for the fact that I don't have to worry since Old Ass Bern will never get the 2020 nom.

Super Tuesday is Bernie's last day as a candidate, but sadly the FIRST day as a spoiler and basically a member of the Trump 2020 campaign team.

The Jacobin will explain it all to us, I'm sure!

Disgusting as they must be happy to see the world has gone up in flames recently. Blood on their hands, not their conscience since I don't think they possess any. Despicable.

I’m over these people

I’m starting to think they Trump supporters on the DL

[quote]I'm guessing the most vocal anti-Clinton Bernie Bros were just Trumpette Assholes, as suspected.

That's what it was with PUMAs back in 2008.

Many people misquote a survey saying 23% of Clinton voters in 2008 voted for McCain instead of Obama, but what they're quoting is a survey taken several months before the election, during the height of the PUMA craze. When the actual vote happened, only 10% of Clinton voters went McCain, and 10% is a very common "crossover" number.

That tells me that over half of the PUMAs in 2008 were actually Republicans anyway, or just trolls. I suspect many of the Bernie Or Bust Never-Hillaries are the same.

Oh, I see R28 misquoted the poll I was talking about.

You'll notice they never link to it. That's because it's clearly dated March 2008, EIGHT months before the election. I'll link to it since R28 won't, and you can see for yourself.

Just go to Wikipedia and you'll see that it was only 10% once Election Day came around, and they have several sources for that figure. It wasn't 28%.

McCain was not a pussy grabbing Nazi so it is irrelevant.

I would vote for Bernie over Trump any day. I do hope he doesn't win but if this board is any indication we are fucked.

What a bunch of stupid people! Trump voters should be eliminated.

So should those who won't vote or will do a nonsense vote by throwing a hissy fit if they don't like the Democrat's nominee.

All over the country, I think Republicans are feeling guilty and ashamed.

So... I get the bitterness of the shitty behavior of some Bernie bros, but... doesn't this then also suggest that Bernie has cross-party appeal? A general election candidate isn't going to win the White House with only dyed-in-the-wool registered Democrats voting for him or her.

Bernie and his bros have never had a full on negative campaign against him due to democrats not wanting to annoy his twitter base but man could you imagine when Trump goes there, it will not be pretty.

IF he's the nominee, I'm sure the Trumpists will go all in on the DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST/ COMMUNIST OLD JEW that Bernie is.

You think that's nasty? That won't be half as nasty as what the Repugs will come up with should Bernie be the nominee.

[quote]The country once known as the USA will be gone by 2024.

Whatever, Millennial.

R20 stop being an idiot and playing the blame game.

Only Trump voters are responsible for Trump.

[quote]doesn't this then also suggest that Bernie has cross-party appeal

The very first thing the article says is that Bernie has wide support amongst the 18-29 demographic -- who rarely vote -- and people "not interested in politics." They also rarely vote.

It also said that those who voted for Trump were 2 points more likely to vote for Biden in 2020 than Sanders.

What are you seeing that suggests Bernie has cross-party appeal that makes him more likely to draw in Republican votes? I don't see jack shit that says this, only Sanders supporters who claim it 24/7 but never actually have any proof.

But

[quote] Party seems to have had something to do with it — Sanders-Trump voters were much less likely than Sanders-Clinton or Sanders-third party voters to have been Democrats.

Because in many states, you don't need to be a Democrat to vote in our primary (or a Republican to vote in theirs. )

[quote] Schaffner tells NPR that around 12 percent of Republican primary voters (including 34 percent of Ohio Gov. John Kasich voters and 11 percent of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio voters) ended up voting for Clinton. And according to one 2008 study, around 25 percent of Clinton primary voters in that election ended up voting for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the general. (In addition, the data showed 13 percent of McCain primary voters ended up voting for Obama, and 9 percent of Obama voters ended up voting for McCain — perhaps signaling something that swayed voters between primaries and the general election, or some amount of error in the data, or both.)

Who cares about pussy-grabbing? McCain was anti-gay, that's all that matters.

Goddamn Bernie and his misogynistic “Bros”. As I've always said BERNIE IS ONLY FOR BERNIE.

He is the one candidate i would literally have to hold my nose to vote for but i will because #BLUENOMATTERWHO right bernie bros?

Should we call Biden supporters JoeHoes?

Seriously lose the Berniebro prejudice. He is supported by all types of people.

Now is not the time to promise your vote to the corrupt DNC, now is the time to vet and produce the best possible candidate. If you dislike Bernie, pick another.

R42, I wish some of those guilty and ashamed people lived near me.

Which is why he never should’ve been allowed in the primaries. He gave us Trump.

R54 stop lying.

Fuck Bernie.

I get it, the people who voted Bernie wanted change and when Hillary and the DNC fixed it so that wouldn't happen they decided to go scorched earth and teach the "establishment" a lesson. It backfired, obviously, but the democrats ignoring the working class for years caused this sort of desperation.

R56 Fuck you...actually probably not one is.

I knew some of his fans back in 2016. They were all THRILLED when Dump beat Hillary because all they really wanted was BIG CHANGE. No matter how good or bad. These people are toxic scum.

Clearly it takes scum to know scum R59

Any Bernie supporter who voted for Trump...should be shot and killed. How could they vote for that lowlife grifter?

R61 Maybe because people like you say they should be shot and killed, that's why they've voted Trump. Also props for making sure that they cradle their guns a little tighter with that phrase.

This is the problem with too many in the Democratic Party, if your guy/gal doesn't win, they throw a hissy fit like a spoiled brat and either don't vote or vote for someone other than the Democratic Party nominee.

Most Republicans hold their nose and vote for their party nominee because they know it is important to them that a Democrat doesn't win.

[quote]...when Hillary and the DNC fixed it so that wouldn't happen...

Oh FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! Give that bullhit a rest, WILL YOU!

R43/R48/R49 and nearly all of the primaries Bernie won in 2016 were caucuses or OPEN primaries. Clinton took just about all the states with closed primaries.

The reason we can't count on that demonstrating Bernie's cross-party appeal is that the GOP and libertarians are notorious for ratfucking primaries, which is why so many of them are closed. A fact which Bernie did not acknowledge, or pretended not to, when he whined repeatedly about closed primaries despite everyone knowing the rules full well years in advance.

The DNC didn't fix ANYTHING. Bernie lost fair and square. This particular myth has gone on far enough.

BERNIE LOST. GET OVER IT.

It is absolutely amazing how many dimwits will insist that the DNC/Clinton fixed the 2016 primaries against Bernie even though she got 4 million more votes than him (and took almost all the open primaries), and then turn around and insist it's only Clinton's own fault for losing the general despite winning 3 million more votes than Trump plus all the voter suppression, biased media coverage, and Russian interference.

Bernie is a RATFUCKER!

Fun fact: many Nazis started off as Communists. The ideological horseshoe is real.

(No I am NOT saying Nazis were Socialists. That's a triple distilled wingnut talking point.)

r67 There are many dimwits. I wonder how the non-dimwits don't have alcoholism from being outnumbered by dimwits. Dimwit A: "ummm what a mess we've been in since 2016. Oh this candidate! This candidate only! Even though a pair of dirty socks should win against an unhinged grifting sexual menace, only my candidate becomes the nominee or else I'll stay home!" Dimwit A population 8,818,424.

Dimwit B population: "What's wrong with Trump? I like everything he's done!" [When pressed to name six specific actions, Dimwit B cannot say anything other than 'he's not a career politician.'] Dimwit B population:: 65,076,482.

Dimwit C population: "Oh I won't vote. I don't care what happens.. We didn't get nuked so what's the big deal?" 90,000,000

163,894,906 dimwits. It's not helpful that GOP Senators are dimwits, corporate mass media prints news articles based on what tens of thousands of trollbots are assigned to trend on Twitter, and that Americans won't read, won't watch beyond their nation's newsfeeds and Comedy Central current events repackaging. We've been waiting for the Americans to catch up.

One correction R70: Dimwit B population is maximum 63 million. There is zero evidence Trump has gained supporters since 2016.

[quote]the GOP and libertarians are notorious for ratfucking primaries,

That's what they're doing now, and I wish more people saw it.

The reason we're getting people like Richard Spencer the Nazi and Joe Rogan the homophobic bigot supporting Bernie is because they're trying to ratfuck the primaries.

Look Bernie has a passionate following...and he does beat tRump in the national polls and in swing states. He could actually win.

New York Magazine: Running Bernie Sanders Against Trump Would Be an Act of Insanity

The totality of the evidence suggests Sanders is an extremely, perhaps uniquely, risky nominee. His vulnerabilities are enormous and untested. No party nomination, with the possible exception of Barry Goldwater in 1964, has put forth a presidential nominee with the level of downside risk exposure as a Sanders-led ticket would bring. To nominate Sanders would be insane.

Would that fit on a bumper sticker?

Absolutely disagree. IF Bernie somehow gets the nomination, he will be so badly skewered by Trump and the Republcans in the general election that he will go down as the worst Democratic defeat since George McGovern in 1972.

That old fucker looks like he's about to drop dead in OP's pic! Why are so many old fossils running for (supposedly) the hardest job in America?

Bernie should have to run as the independent (Kremlin candidate) that he is. If his support is as strong as his Bros claim it is, running as a member of his actual party shouldn’t have any effect on his tallies.

Bernie is in Putin's pocket just like DUMP. Bloomberg or Biden is the way to go

r79, I prefer Warren.
