I suspect many of the latter would call Bernie a sell out if he did get the nomination. Just like how the hipsters immediately dislike an indy band that suddenly has a hit. OK, sure. I voted for Kerry in 2004 because Bush was a criminal. How does that translate to voting for someone who sold the services of State to profit her husband’s corporate entity? She made the Foundation a pimp and Foggy Bottom its whore, and all for oil money from Norway, UAE, and Algeria.\* I can’t trust her,\* and you can’t make me vote for her. That’s not ideology. That’s ethical principle. Ideologically, I think someone like HRC would be a tolerable President. _I don’t trust her ethics._ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-sanders-fans-who-plan-on-sitting-out-if-bernie-is-not-nominated/746466)._
