Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumIt is NOT wise to vote for Trump over Hillary
As we all know, Presidential candidates can lie all they want to get elected, but lets remember, Donald Trump is running as a Republican, but he is actually a friend of the Clintons, and he is unlikely to be a friend of single payer as he says.
I would like people who claim to be voting for Trump as a protest to Hillary to think long and hard before they do anything like that. They are wasting their vote and the effects of their vote will likely last forever because Fast track is six years and its only just begun. A Presidential term is only four years.
I would like to encourage people to write in Bernie even if he does not get the nomination. That is what I plan to do.. Vote Democratic.

If Bernie is not the nominee we each need to decide what we'll do on election day. Personally, I will probably hold my nose and vote for Clinton but I'll do my best not to try an persuade anyone else to do so. Trump is just not a risk I want to take.
But voting for Trump is just not something anybody could make me understand.

I might just not vote for a presidential candidate and vote for Democrats down ticket. I wont stay home. I have never not voted in a Presidential election and it would be stupid to do it now.

If you want to vote for Sanders anyway via write-in, go ahead. But be aware the party will never know.
If you want to lodge a "protest" vote, pick someone else printed on the ballot. Those votes will be counted.

Total hell can be unleashed in four years. Remember what GWB did in "only four years".
I will not vote for a Republican for president - neither one of them.
Edit to add: I'm writing in Bernie too. He earned it!

(250 posts)I'll write in Bernie as well if he doesn't get the nomination. I'm tired of the DNC and their bullshit. No more DINOs.

I know for me that it will discount my vote, so I will simply vote Green and then select Democrats down-ticket as long as they are not New Dems.
I won't ever vote for Trump but also won't vote for the other Republican either.
