Write in for Warren or direct vote for Bernie if he is on your ballet

We might as well do this since we all agree that Hillary is going to win anyway.

Therefore, your write-in vote won't be wasted.


Edited to clarify this is meant for primaries.

3. That's a terrible idea. Vote for the Democratic candidate in the General Election.

In the primary, support whoever you like. Before the primary, work to get your preferred candidate running.

4. So who created the idea that Hillary was inevitable?

She hasn't. Who is saying that other than the media, or people on DU creating a meme so they can knock it down?

And a few pundits that are plying both sides against the middle. Today they're talking about "inevitable", tomorrow "but wait! "

6. We have primaries just for this reason. I support the primary process.

Why don't you? I'd never commit my vote before seeing and hearing the actual contenders actually contend.

12. Given that I'm in Oregon I believe that the primary "process" will be over long before May

2008 was a rare occasion where we had two candidates go through the entire primary season (at least in my lifetime).

The party leaders are already anointing the person who will win. That is why they have people coming out constantly saying they support that person even those the person hasn't entered the race. As soon as that person does all that will be left is token opposition.

11. WASTED vote. And if Hillary is in fact nominated, any "progressive" is INSANE not to get STRONGLY

behind her. Or, they are just helping the Republicans who are a hundred times worse. Hillary IS PROGRESSIVE. Not a TeaLeft purist, but PROGRESSIVE on NUMEROUS issues. Enough of the purity insanity.
