Sorry. I think all of Bernie Sanders supporters see this as another ploy by the DNC to push Hillary on us. I live in a state where I can write in my vote. So I will be using my rights as a voter to write in Bernie Sanders.

I have been a life-long Democrat and feel that the DNC, represents only it's own interests, and no longer reflects the interest, desires or needs of the majority of it's own members because it has abandoned it's core principles and become the pawn of Wall Street and corporate interests. . It's heavy handed actions--especially those of Wasserman-Shultz--have caused many to leave the party, and more importantly, caused many of its supporters not to vote. This has led to the decline of participatory democracy and domination of ignorant fascist's like Trump and Carson. I am no longer sure there is much difference between the policies of moderates in the Republican Party (if there are any moderates there anymore) and Hillary. Whether or not I vote for a president in the next election at all, depends upon how far to the right the Republican candidate will be. If the DNC continues to force Hillary on its membership--without giving it's members a fiar and free choice-- this will be the end of my membership as a Democrat.

I am an Independent and a huge Bernie Sanders fan. Hillary Clinton is not on my radar for a vote, even if Bernie were to ask me directly. The thing that I think you folks miss, is that America has been damaged by both parties and the two party system itself. I have always tried to vote for the person as opposed to the party but the Democrats are equally responsible for this mess that we find ourselves in. Many of my peers feel exactly the same. In respect to character, integrity and consistency, Hillary is not in the same league as Bernie Sanders. I am 63, retired from corporate America and am a veteran as well. It is not just young people who are fans of Bernie. We come from across the board. I would add, in regard to the pledge, I would probably vote against her if she were the nominee.

Yes, he did say he would support Clinton if he didn't get the Nomination. However, neither he nor we, his supporters, expected the blatant rigging of the Nomination process by Clinton's old crony Debbie Wasserman-Shultz. We will NOT accept any Candidate shoved down our throats. If the DNC and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz TRULY cared about keeping a Republican out of the Whitehouse, they would stop these tactics and accept the Candidate The People want. If they continue to throw the Nomination to Clinton, it will be THEIR fault and NOT the Bernie or Bust movement.

I joined this group for a little while and, Sir, they are hurting your message. They are rabidly anti-Clinton and are vowing to write your name in if you are not nominated as our candidate. I am voting for you in the primary but if you don't win, people like those on the "Bernie or Bust" site are going to give the Presidency to the Republicans. Please denounce them immediately and confirm your position of honor.

If Bernie does not get the nomination and the followers don't vote for Hillary we will be living in a Country heading back to the Dark Ages fueled by ignorance and hate.

The comments here are hilarious! Every comment affirms Bernie or bust, one who signed by mistake because she thought it was Bernie or bust. And I love the Bernie impersonator. That being said, nice try, Hillary. Sorry lady, you don't have what the people want. We want Bernie, and we'll vote our conscience.

Well well well... this petition certainly didn't have the effect you were looking for. Going on since Nov. 11th and only 56 signatures? Pretty sad. Maybe you should be making a petition for more debates? Or maybe a petition to the DNC/press that gives all candidate equal airtime? If we lose the election next Nov. to the republicans, it will only be the DNC, DWS, and Hillary to blame.

Asking people who support Bernie Sanders to vote for Hillary should she steal the nomination is like asking a hungry person to just smell the food but not eat it. We are starving for a man like Bernie---he is allowing people to release their true nature as compassionate, caring and loving human beings. There is no going back---we are voracious in our desire for change and Bernie is the man to give it NOT Hillary.

I agree Bernie is in reality leading the pack and I refuse to believe the networks who refuse to report otherwise. During the first debate, the focus group was asked who won the debate....the majority of hands were for Bernie. They then asked the group who the would be voting for and again the majority indicated Bernie. In the very next segment the reporter announced Hillary the winner. Where in that room of Bernie supporters was that reporter??? Seriously, if there was no media blackout of Bernie & the DNC Did not cram Hillary down my throat and give ALL democratic candidates a fair playing field, I and many others would not be signing a pledge of "Bernie or Bust". I refuse to have a another President that does not have the best interest of ALL Americans in mind. Therefore, I will be voting my heart. If it comes down to writing a candidate in then that's what I will do this time. It certainly won't ever be the lesser of two evils. From here on out may the BEST man/woman win. This time that happens to be a man named Bernie Sanders. Sorry I won't be signing this petition as it's just another manipulative ploy. Don't play Bernie supporters for fools or buffoons. There is a whole other party you can pander this crap to, who might actually buy it hook, line & sinker considering their front-runner who, by the way, Bernie has beat by a mile!

I totally and completely support the Bern or Bust pledge. Hillary Clinton is a Goldwater Republican, she's a war hawk, and she wants business as usual with minor reforms. If Bernie isn't the nominee, I will likely vote Jill Stein.

I will never vote for Hillary!! No matter what! My children and grandchildrens future is at stake. Bernie is who we need to fix what ails this country. If a republican wins the White House it we be the fault of Hillary and her cohort DWS. #BernieOrBust #SheepNoMore #BernieOrElse

Why is there not a petition asking for Hillary to sign a pledge? She started out as a Young Republican in the 60's and 70's. Think about it folks. This is a detractor attempting to sway public perception away from Bernie's soaring popularity; nothing more than a political ruse. Bernie does not need to sign it. He's winning.

The Supreme Court is the ultimate victory and as progressives we need to protect the court from more right wing judges. Unless we want to throw women back into the dark ages. I am all for Bernie but I will support Hillary in order to keep the Court.

Not going to vote for Hillary, I will write Bernie in. My kid's future is too important for things to keep going as they are. Before I was ignorant, now I'm more informed. There's no going back for me.
