I find that prefacing my personal experiences with "that is my experience" helps to clarify.

Well, it's kind of funny, just 4 days ago, that exact same source said something different. Is this still evidence or is it not because it doesn't say what you want?

90 percent of unwavering Sanders supporters plan to vote for Clinton in November

You found a youtube video? Dang, I guess all the Sanders voters are going for Trump now, lol.

Just for clarification, anecdotal evidence would be something like taking the poll results from this thread and saying that Stein or Johnson will get more votes in the general election than Clinton.

No one cares about the film but the already tin foiler crowd.

Well hey, I've got a poll that says John Edwards is gonna be the 2004 Democratic nominee. Also, what film?

So what that tells me is the Democrats lost support. Nice job. Where is the other 10% going? Do you think they voted for Obama in 08 and 12. Very likely.

Whatever you guys want to cling on to, to try to have faith someone as clownish as Trump will win, more power to you. Come November, things will be slightly different. I apologize in advance for your sorrows.

Correct. My point being that Bernie supporters may see the Hillary film, which could sway them to vote for Trump rather than Hillary. Pgisback claims none of the Bernie supporters will vote for Trump. That is his opinion. Obviously there are Bernie supporters who will vote for Trump in the election.

pgisback · 07-29-2016, 10:15 AM

Trump mocking the disabled. True leader right there!!

I didn't say none, I simply laugh at you guys thinking there will be any significant amount of Bernie supporters voting for Trump.

You're making a lot of leaps here yourself. Yes, there are probably Bernie supporters who will vote for Trump. But there are also probably Republicans that will vote for Clinton. It's probably wise to assume that the numbers of each will be inconsequential.

You didn't use any identifying term for "Sanders supporters" like: most, or the majority, or anything of the like. So yes, if you understood how English grammar works, it does mean none. No matter if it's in a political context or not

You know there is a way to express your opinions in a way that doesn't make you constantly sound like a condescending know it all? It's called a constructive back and forth conversation. You should try it sometime.
