The primaries are gut-check time. The primaries are the time when you get to vote your conscience. It is in a primary ballot that you don't NEED to vote for someone, you GET to vote for someone.

People will always claim that Kucinich's candidacy is a non-starter. They might be right. But in the primaries you don't have top vote for someone to get them elected president.

In primaries your vote is rarely wasted. Even if you voted for someone who didn't get the nom, you still belong to a group of delegates. Delegates who can then negotiate incorporating their views in the platform.

So if you want to see Peace, economic fairness, and all of the other positions on which you agree with DK. Make you vote meaningful. Sure, he won't win, so we don't have to worry about the GE.
