    Adults lining up to do the right thing, the grown-up thing, and vote for a candidate who likely wears diapers.

    I can't wait.
    I'm curious to hear what your better alternative is?

    Show up to the polls; vote for what/who you want; don't vote for what/who you don't want.

    Fairly simple process. Your other votes aren't voided if you leave a couple of line items blank. No one should feel compelled to vote for anyone or anything just because of a silly nursery rhyme or because someone calls them a baby if they don't.

    Oh, and hope against hope that we don't have another hostile takeover of our elections by foreign adversaries.

    They should feel compelled to vote for whoever is running against Trump (unless they like Trump of course) because he is exponentially worse than any of the democratic candidates running, by any measure, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with a nursery rhyme.

    If a voter leaves that voting line blank or for a 3rd party that is a vote for status quo.

    Bernie can fuck off
    But I thought we were “voting blue no matter who” or whatever bullshit nursery rhyme y’all are drilling into your/everyone’s heads.

    Maybe some volunteers can wait outside the polls and reward blue voters with Scooby snacks as they exit. 

    “Did you vote blue no matter who? Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy? You’re a good boy!”
    Bernie != Blue

    that's why he didn't win the nomination last time

    and why he won't this time

    I've always held to this dankind, but 2020 for me is the exception.  I'll vote for whichever Democratic candidate wins the Primary, hope to god they win, and then hope I never have to make a blind choice like that again.  Yeah, it sucks.

    Me, too. I'm sure there are plenty of my posts where I defended voting my conscience. Sounds good in theory. In practice it gave us Trump. I'll be voting for whichever GOP challenger leads the polls in the primary and for whichever Dem candidate is the nominee in the general. My two votes will be against Trump, and for sanity.

    It's been pointed out to me by a fellow forum member here (for which I am grateful, thanks!) that Bernie Sanders has been shunned by the press lately.  December was a very busy time for me, so that might account for my not having noticed this, but now with this head up, I have to wonder what is up with that?  The Hill posted a good article that talks about this.  Media bias- something to think about:




    CNN HATES Bernie. CNN makes a ton of money from big pharma. It’s not stop drug commercials on there.

    Media companies that survive from advertising hate Bernie. He is looking to kill the golden goose. And the wealthy scare people into disliking him. You won’t keep your doctor. You’ll lie in pain forever waiting for a doctor to treat you, etc.

    I think a lot of us are in the same boat! No way can I just leave that line blank and I’m def not voting for the current mess I have to vote for whom ever comes out of the democratic side , do I wish there were better options off course ..
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    Is it Bernies fault we have a two party system and candidates running in those parties for national office have huge cash advantage?

    FWIW Bernie co founded the Progressive Caucus and was allowed by party leadership to caucus with the democrats since 1994.

    Bernie is playing the hand he was dealt, trying to change the system from within. Better than whining about the system and refusing to participate.

    Whether you like him or not I think that's honorable.
