Why Don't Bernie Voters Matter?

[Rilgin]

83. Just call them members of a cult. Thats what some people here think works.

Some people will not vote for Joe. Most people will. I would not worry about people not voting for an opposing candidate after a primary. Its pretty normal. The only thing that will increase the percentage of people not voting is what some people on this site and on this Thread seems to work, try to beat them over the head on how their support for their preferred candidate is misplaced and that he is actually the worst person to ever live on the planet.

What works is what they don't do. Have respect for others opinions. Acknowledging that they like Bernie and are not enthusiastic about Joe but should vote for Biden cause Trump is a disaster for all of us might work. Acknowledge that even though Bernie lost that his voters are a large and important part of the democratic party coalition might be a good idea. We need everyone to vote Trump out. Pretending that Bernie voters are cultists, unreasonable, deluded or stupid is just not a good idea.

So my advice is to ignore the advice you get from People who hate Bernie and listen to people who ignore the constant Bernie bashing and still both like Bernie and are willing to vote for Joe Biden.
