If Bernie Sanders loses, his backers may not be there for Hillary Clinton in November

I would no longer care who wins. My life will remain unaffected and so will my childrens. I'll wake up, go to work, come home, pay bills, go to soccer practices, come home, fix dinner, watch a bit of netfix, put the little one to bed, go for a run, come home, shower, go to bed.

It's a lot like gay marriage. I didn't advocate for it, I don't care that they got it. They went out, fought for what they wanted and that's good for them. It doesn't affect me so I'm not going to sit there and say they should or shouldn't have it. I'm just going to go about my life staying out of others and when it's over, it's over.

Do you think that woman making 8 dollars an hour after a decade in fast food, is going to care which of these two become president? Do you think the average corporate employee any company will care? Outside of very specific causes, most people only care about what will directly affect them.

I care about the environment because I don't want to see our natural resources depleted and because I believe we'll need them in the eventual resource wars; but I'm not going to pretend like either of those two options (or the rest of the entire corrupt political machinations) aren't going to sell them to the highest bidder anyway. I care about universal healthcare because I've been so poor I wasn't able to go to the doctor even though I was having trouble breathing-because of an injury I sustained while I was in the service; because the military doesn't care about its veterans beyond their usefulness in the service. I care about H1-B Visa regulation because as a developer, that represents a very real threat to my industry. But I don't make any claim that we're going to have universal healthcare under either of those two options, in fact for all the praise the Dems want for ACA, all it really accomplished was making me have to pay for something I didn't want (though precluding existing conditions, that part was a win) and can't afford; tell me how mandating I pay for health insurance I can't afford, and which won't keep me from having high-priced medical bills, is any different than not having the ACA at all.

It doesn't matter who is elected to President, life doesn't change that much. You're still going to be poor, you're still going to go to work every day and waste your life away, and someone else is still going to be saying how they are the best option and how they are so much better than 'the other guy'. 'Those Republicans', 'Those Democrats', everyone is exactly the same when it gets down to it. A high-speed information age allows us to see their inauthenticity, allows us to see how it doesn't really matter who is President. At the end of the day, it's just another day.
