I will vote the Democratic nominee in 2016. Period.

I'd vote for cat shit before I'd vote for a 'pub or not vote at all.

Not only that I'll be walking the streets for our nominee again, as I plan to do until I can't walk anymore.

I expect it to be Hillary Clinton. I live in Illinois, and my vote doesn't matter, so I might as well vote for someone I support. If I were in a swing state, then I'd vote for her. I know this is a democratic site, and won't campaign for a third party here. However, I don't get the point of "strategic voting" when my vote doesn't even matter.

But I will vote for the nominee, for me, my parents and my kids. We're all better off with a Democrat rather than the alternative.

But even if the person who does get the nod isn't my preferred candidate they will be a million years better than inflicting the damage of 4 or possibly 8 years of a tea party/Republican candidate.
