If Bernie is the nominee...

[ChisolmTrailDem]

...will you vote for him?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Of course.

[cyberswede]

2. Yep. nt

[on point]

3. Without reservation

[seabeyond]

4. of course. you will not even kinda sorta maybe find the same divide created with other candidates.

[TheNutcracker]

5. Not only will I vote for him I will do so without feeling he's the lesser of two evils.A happy vote!

[ladjf]

6. Absolutely, with pleasure (for a change.) nt

[MuseRider]

7. I would be thrilled to do so.

I can't remember the last time I actually had a candidate I cared much for. I do a lot of write in but hey....I live in Kansas and it really does not ever matter what I think or who I vote for, much of the time only R's or L's are offered. Still, a vote for Bernie would make me so happy!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. I see Bernie as a Founding Father type. A founding father of a new era. I think he can inspire. nt

[MuseRider]

17. I believe that as well.

I do think that he will be seen differently than a party guy. The socialist tag may hurt him with some but they would not have ever voted for him anyway. I think people are ready for real change. We just have to wait and see and work what we can to make it happen. It certainly engages a lot more people who were probably just going to sit this one out.

[BeanMusical]

108. Well said.

[CentralMass]

8. Yes

[99Forever]

9. Without hesitation.

Or reservation.

[Initech]

10. Twice if I could!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Of COURSE, I would.

As much as I would like to see this happen, I very much doubt he will be our nominee.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

18. Which is why we need to fight like hell. It's not an impossible dream. A personal note...

...Please allow me to take this opportunity to offer my condolences for your loss, CaliforniaPeggy, I know you were especially fond of Chris. And thank you for your taking us along on the journey that was Chris' life and his passing. It was joyous and heart-crushing, a roller coaster ride for you, I'm sure.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you for all your very kind words, my dear ChisolmTrailDem...

It was everything you said.........

[el_bryanto]

13. Of course. No Question. nt

[treestar]

14. Yes.

In the unlikely even of loss of cabin pressure, please don the Bernie Oxygen Mask.

[BeanMusical]

114. Another one of your repugnant ageist posts.

Like this one:

3. Yep their newest savior is an old white guy

a very old, white guy.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026593320#post3

[treestar]

119. Are we going to take back all the comments we made

in 2008 about McGramps?

And it's not ageist to point out that he's aged.

We were thinking Hillary too old at one time. Same for Biden.

[Octafish]

15. Faster than I would for most candidates, too.

Guy's got integrity.

[KMOD]

16. Yes

[NanceGreggs]

19. Of course.

Whoever the (D) nominee is in the end has my vote.

[JustAnotherGen]

29. +1

[sharp_stick]

20. Absolutely

I will vote for the Democratic nominee for President because keeping the fucking pukes out of the White House is that important.

[mopinko]

22. be proud to.

will walk and cough it up, too.

[Pooka Fey]

23. Hmmmmm. Bernie? The Clown Car? What to do, what to do...

[freshwest]

24. Yes

[closeupready]

25. Twice.

Hehe.

[cascadiance]

37. Make sure you clarify that this is both the primary and the general...

... or you will have Republican observers looking to have your ballots questioned when voting!

[closeupready]

41. chuckle...

[Andy823]

26. Of course

I don't think you will find one person here who would say "NO I will not vote for him if he is the nominee", and that's the way it should be.

[MineralMan]

45. Some here have said they will NOT vote for Hillary Clinton, though.

That tells me something.

[Andy823]

71. Yes I know

I really wonder what kind of an agenda those who say that really have. It sure doesn't seem to be trying to get democrats elected!

[MineralMan]

99. I think the agenda varies widely.

[Ed Suspicious]

72. What exactly does that tell you?

[MineralMan]

100. Uh, it tells me that they won't vote for

Hillary. What does it tell you?

[TM99]

92. Not all here are rank & file

registered Democrats.

Some, like myself, are Independents. I don't just vote for the man or woman with a D after their name. I tend to as they often align with my politics, but certainly not always.

Hilary Clinton goes against everything that I stand for political, and Bernie Sanders stands for everything I agree with.

So yes, I will vote for Sanders given any chance, and no, I will never vote for Clinton even if she is the Dem nominee.

I won't necessarily vote Republican. I may write in. I may abstain. I may vote a third party.

Isn't Democracy grand.

[MineralMan]

102. Not all here are even Democrats.

That's a sure bet. I'm a Democrat. I vote for Democrats. Others do other things.

[BeanMusical]

109. Some are even supposedly ex-Repukes.

[Bobbie Jo]

27. Of course

Why on earth would anyone on DU not vote for the Democratic nominee?

[rhett o rick]

28. Guess

Sign up to help his campaign here: https://berniesanders.com/volunteer/ I'm in.

[liberal N proud]

30. I will vote for the Democratic nominee

I will help to whatever my abilities that nominee become President.

But that does not mean that I will or will not support that candidate from the beginning. It is a process of narrowing down the choice and just because my candidate of choice did not become the nominee, does not mean that I am not going to vote or does it mean that I will vote Republican. I will NEVER vote republican.

[Triana]

31. Absolutely! n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. I just think it's a good thing that it's a decision I'll never have to make.

[woodsprite]

33. You bet I will!!! He'd get 4 votes from my household. :) n/t

[onehandle]

34. Of course. However many 'Not Hillary' fans said they would not vote for her in the general.

Apparently President Hillary Clinton would both be as bad as anyone in the KKKlown KKKar.

[spanone]

35. i will vote for the democratic nominee. there will be no other choice.

[bravenak]

36. I always vote for the Democrat.

Even if I don't like them. But I like him. Need to get him behind cannabis legalization. Pull in millenials.

[BrotherIvan]

46. Bernie co-sponsored the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act

No drug testing for Federal Employees and wants to legalize industrial hemp. He is great on this issue. I can't attest to this page/website, but here is some information put together

http://www.ontheissues.org/domestic/Bernie_Sanders_Drugs.htm

[bravenak]

49. I want him to do one better and come my way on full legalization.

Smelling weed is the pretext for alot of search and seizure abuse in this drug war. Taking away that pretext will hinder the successful prosecution of the racist drug war.
I think if it were put to him the right way, he'd move my way.

[BrotherIvan]

50. I think he agrees completely given these bills

These were steps he was taking. Trying to get legislation through. None of it did, but he keeps on trying. He could be completely hands off on weed, but he's not. I'm not sure with the anti-socialism crap that will be thrown around that he'll be for national legalization in the campaign. I bet he would be for total decriminalization though. But he's pretty surprising, so he may be open about it. I know a lot of 20 somethings really thought Obama would legalize, being pretty open about partaking in his youth. They were very disappointed when that didn't happen. So yes, I think this is a good issue to bring up.

[herding cats]

38. Of course!

The Democratic nominee is getting my vote.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

39. I heard on NPR that Bernie running will only serve to "weaken" Hillary....

Expect to hear THAT crap from Hillary supporters.

[seabeyond]

43. are you sure it was not rw crap that npr likes to play in, and you are falling for it? or is it

another twisted jab at hillary, that is not being reciprocated to sanders, by clinton supporters?

i ask, because on du, the extreme, i am not hearing any clinton supporters saying it will weaken clinton.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

86. You will.

[seabeyond]

93. hey. i have too many people pin shit on me that is pure bullshit, with a you will see, or whatever.

i do not think i will hold my breath. i do not think it will happen. and that is a good thing

[Spitfire of ATJ]

94. These things tend to filter down.

[BrotherIvan]

47. It's all over this board

It's the perfect way to minimize his run without openly blasting a Democratic candidate.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

80. What's funny is I got two responses to that post....

Your post saying it's all over the board and another denying anyone says it.

[BrotherIvan]

87. Well, that is part of the act

I like, "Be civil! Stop being so mean!" And then ripping anyone to shreds who doesn't fall in line. As night follows day, there it is.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

91. We NEED to be mean sometimes.

[seabeyond]

97. and yet, you have many climton supports simply saying, of course they would vote sanders. mean....

[seabeyond]

96. where are you seeing this? nt

[seabeyond]

95. you are reading that clinton supporters are saying his running will make clinton weak? nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

40. Yes. With little or no nose-holding required.

[arcane1]

42. And I won't have to hold my nose, either!

[MineralMan]

44. Of course. I always vote for the Democratic nominee.

I also campaign for the Democratic nominee. Whoever that is will get my support, 100%.

[BrotherIvan]

48. For those that think that "Bernie can't win the general"

I say, wait till it's a choice between Bush III and Bernie. Then tell me who can't win.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

51. Twice

[brooklynite]

52. I'll vote for him, I'll fund him and I'll work for him...and he'll probably still lose

[still_one]

53. I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is

[Blue_In_AK]

54. Absolutely!

I could wish that there were a younger version of him, but for sure I would vote for Sanders.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

55. With pleasure.

Looking forward to the opportunity.

[NRaleighLiberal]

56. we will run to the voting booth to vote for Bernie!

[tabasco]

57. Goddamn right n/t

[Sienna86]

58. Yep.

I'm looking fr a candidate that is an advocate for the middle and lower classes. One who inspires me.

[Left coast liberal]

59. Hell yes!

[Half-Century Man]

60. I will vote for him if he is the Nominee

I will vote for him in a primary.
I will campaign for him.
Count me in.



Just signed up for Bernie volunteer work.

[Jim Lane]

61. Yes. The difference between him and others is that, if he's the nominee, I'll volunteer for him.

If our nominee is Clinton, then I'll probably find that my limited volunteer time is better spent on behalf of one or more progressives in downticket races.

[1monster]

62. YES! And I'm voting for him in the Primaries too.

[we can do it]

63. Whoever the Democratic nominee is gets my vote and support.

[Mira]

64. Yes. Of Course

And I will wear bells to make it happen

[project_bluebook]

65. Yes, above all others but

He has a very long uphill battle ahead of him. I see politifact (spl?) already spreading neg misinformation about him.

[KansDem]

66. But natch!

[MissDeeds]

67. Absolutely

And with great joy, confidence, and pleasure.

[CharlotteVale]

68. I'd crawl over ground glass to vote for Bernie.

But I'll vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is.

[Ed Suspicious]

69. Most enthusiastically.

[democrank]

70. Yes

with great pride

[Liberalynn]

73. Yes

With enthusiasm!

[whatchamacallit]

74. Hells Yeah!

[JoeLaValle]

75. ABSOLUTELY!

[MH1]

76. Absolutely. Same if Clinton, O'Malley, or any mostly sane Dem is the nominee -

I will vote for the Dem nominee.

Because any "mostly sane" Democrat is far saner than anyone the Republicans will nominate.

[Skittles]

77. actually, he'd be the first candidate I would be voting FOR in a long, long time

[BlueJazz]

78. He's the best man for the job.

[flor-de-jasmim]

79. Without a doubt!

[MNBrewer]

81. Unequivocally yes!

[morningfog]

82. Early and often.

[stonecutter357]

83. I will vote for the Democratic nominee for President

[Adrahil]

84. Yes, of course. n/t

[SarasotaDem]

85. yup

of course

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

88. don't expect the ones who won't to show up here

I've already noticed they're not here.

[Terra Alta]

89. Yes.

I will gladly vote for whomever is the Democratic nominee.

[Cleita]

90. Yes, and I'm not so sure I would vote for the other candidate.

Oh, my not voting wouldn't affect the outcome because in California the electoral votes would be delivered to the Democratic candidate no matter who it is. It would be a matter of principle for me though.

[Scuba]

98. I wouldn't even need to hold my nose.

[rock]

101. Sure

Do you know something I don't?

[LWolf]

103. Happily.

Which is more than I can say for any general election for POTUS since I cast my very first vote....for Carter.

[Beacool]

104. That's an IF the size of Mt. Everest.

Having said that, I will vote for the Democratic nominee. Regardless of who wins the nomination. The thought of a Republican president is abhorrent.

[JaneyVee]

105. 105%

[Jamastiene]

106. Yes. Gladly!

I would have no problem voting for Bernie Sanders.

[beachbum bob]

107. if wishes were fishes

we be up to our butts with them...........

[NuclearDem]

110. Of course. What kind of question is that?

[workinclasszero]

111. We will get President Cruz

A republican/teahaddist controlled Congress and a packed SCOTUS for a generation.

Hope all you folks are good with that.

But yeah Ill vote for our nominee as this country goes under for good.

[BeanMusical]

113. Your optimism is admirable.

[workinclasszero]

117. Reality sucks eh?

I live the the real MFing world.

Lots of people on this board have fat bank accounts, big investments, etc and can indulge in political fantasies and wouldn't be hurt in the least if the republicans take control of the entire government.

I assure you that's not me.

I and my family will be savaged by a teahaddist government for the rest of my life.

[bowens43]

112. yes

[DiverDave]

115. Gladly.

eom

[magical thyme]

116. in a heartbeat. nt

[Orsino]

118. As many times as allowed by law, and with a big-ass grin. n/t
