Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You can vote for anyone that you'd like to vote for. But that doesn't change the inevitable.
Either Hillary or Trump is going to be the next President. For me, I'd like to have a say in that process. I'm going to vote for the person who I feel is most likely to enact policies I agree with.

This is technically true, but the reality is that despite the existence of other candidates and parties, especially with regards to presidential elections, the US is still overwhelmingly a two party system.
And honestly, given the stakes in this election compared to those of years past (both parties could manage to field mostly competent candidates, at the very least), a lot of folks are viewing this as more of a two party election than usual.
True, but most agree with their parties on the majority of issues, or at least key issues.
But if you say you support candidate X and then move to candidate Y, and candidate Y holds completely opposite views to candidate X on many core issues, then it's not hard to wonder why you really supported candidate X.
Saying, "I support Bernie's revolution!" and then throwing behind a candidate that wants to remove the income tax and roll back regulations and oversight on large corporations doesn't really jive.
At all.
Help control the population. Have your blood elf spayed or neutered.
I'm pretty sure its the Clintons who generated most of that hate for themselves:
One of the biggest draws of Sanders was that he wasn't taking crazy amounts of special interest money, which at least lends credibility to the idea that such a candidate would be more likely to do what was in the interest of the public instead of what the donors want.

Yeah, someone who thinks it's pointless to identify as a party that doesn't agree with them is zealot... I don't know, I think zealotry is desplaid more in those who would support a party by claiming elegance, when they don't even agree with it. You can even see it in your interpretation of what I said. Saying people shouldn't identify as a party they don't agree with 100%, is quite the opposite of your interpretation that they all agree.

No, that just makes them superficial...

Trump is special interest... Voting for Trump, because Hillary gets more money from special interest, only makes sense if your hate of Hillary is superficial. If Hillary is more likely to do what is best for her donors, what do you think Trump organization will do? Superficial...

It's a hypothetical, but I'm sure some PAC/Super PAC would have started, because the opponent would still have been Trump and people would still want him defeated. His opponents would point at this PAC and blame Sanders for it. Incorrectly, but loud enough to gather attention anyhow. We've seen evidence of that on these very forums, recently.
Sanders did have a lot of credibility. That's why I'm glad he both endorsed Clinton, and is actively working to help her campaign. He still sees Trump as by far the worst choice.
Bernie supporters voting Trump, need a good slogan. How is this one:
"99% for Trump. Take the power out wealth!"
Or...
"Money shouldn't keep you from going to school, getting medical care or drive you into destitute, but it's the only thing you should need to be president."
Last one might need two shirts...

If Sanders' fans want to see how his ideas work, I present to you the 1970s. Every idea he had was tired, been tried, and failed previously. He ran the biggest no idea campaign in history, as far as I can tell. But, I'm sure we all care how the six millennials who will show up on election day feel about things...
Hillary Clinton is a neocon warmonger who brags about overthrowing governments and will most certainly invade another country in the name of 'regime change'. It doesn't matter what she says now on the subject, I'll trust her actual record over anything she says since she is incapable of telling the truth.
