Bernie’s troops should join Hillary’s team
Bernie Sanders’ supporters attended over 30 rallies in California, held their “Bernie” signs, and even registered to vote. But they forgot one important thing. According to a front-page story in the June 9 San Francisco Chronicle, they either forgot or did not care to actually cast a ballot for their candidate.
Now I – along with many other Democrats – am a longtime supporter of Hillary and would never pass up a chance to vote for her, and we didn’t. We hope that those registered Democratic supporters of Sanders will remain Democrats and vote for Clinton in November.
Abstaining from voting is a vote for a Republican, whoever that may be.
