[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read through the entire thread, but I don't know why people are so confident Hillary Clinton can win a general election.

So many independents and moderate Republicans simply don't like her (some for irrational reasons or reasons they can't articulate, but it doesn't change the reality that they won't vote for her).

That's not a reason NOT to vote for her in the primary.  But rather it just shows that that argument that you should vote for Hillary over Bernie because Bernie can't win is not a very good argument.

One reason I support Sanders is because I think he actually has a better shot in the general election than Hillary does. I think many Democrats underestimate how loathed she is. I think there are plenty of those on the right who will be motivated to vote just to beat her, and if the Republican nominee is someone even vaguely sane, like Jeb or Kasich (which right now is hard to imagine), then there are folks on the left who will stay home rather than vote for her.
