Still undecided and looking around, but am leaning very hard toward

Sen. Warren, followed by Sanders, Inslee, and Harris. Any other undecideds leaning in a particular direction?

It's a valid question.

All things considered, especially in light of 2016, why haven't you abandoned it? Why make yourself the object of ridicule and distrust?

I think she has a line of text in her sigline explaining what's going on. It may not show in here.

She's also going through a lot of stress in her personal family life, so you might want to ease up here a bit.

That's a small price to pay instead of self-identifying as a treacherous Green Party voter... especially after 2016! Why would anyone want to willingly subject themselves to suspicion, distrust, ridicule and being ostracized.

so you might want to ease up here a bit.
Again, these are valid questions that I'm asking. One's personal life doesn't change that fact, Peggy. Besides, based on the snippy reply that I got, I'm sure that she's perfectly capable of handling things herself.

You might see being a Green as treacherous, but I see a broken system. The problem isn't with multiple candidates running, but with plurality voting, among other things.

As Peggy said, I have bigger issues going on than being regarded with suspicion on a message board. If my answers are unsatisfactory to you, then I suggest you make peace with that fact and move on. But given that I am leaning toward your declared candidate, I am hoping instead we can find some common ground.

was still true until I caucused for Bernie in 2016. And even then having announced I had changed parties, you still approached me with this same attitude because Bernie. (Maybe you don't remember, but I do.)

I considered changing to GPV so my few remaining friends would recognize me, but I don't know if they even do name change amnesties anymore, and as this place grew uglier and uglier I found myself lurking more and posting less so it didn't seem all that pressing.

And I have a year before I vote, so my opinion may be moot by then.

Leaning Warren and Buttigieg, like Harris alot. Ruled a few others out for this round, but will #Votebluenomatterwho in the end.
