I want a "primary preference" that says Vote Blue No Matter Who.

I already voted for Warren on Super Tuesday, and I actually don't care who wins at this point, between Biden and Sanders. I am much closer to Sanders' end of the political spectrum, and have many issues with Biden. But they both have strengths and weaknesses. I don't want or need to choose between either since I already voted. But I do want to pledge my support for whoever wins the nomination, as well as not looking to DU like I'm a political moderate/idiot who can't decide who to vote for when in truth I already voted.

So to recap:

I want a primary preference that says Vote Blue No Matter Who instead of "undecided."

Pleeeease, Skinner and EarlG?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Anyone who would vote for another candidate (especially Trump) doesn’t belong on Democratic Underground.

You just posted 3 "I wants" in an 8-line post. Do you realize how selfish you sound right now?

Why should I have to declare a primary preference now that I don't have a preference and my choice is out? It just adds to the horse race feel of the election, which feels manufactured in and of itself.

For the time being tell the nosy and pushy people to mind their own business. If it required a preference to post this forum it would be one thing... but it doesn't so they can go pound sand.
And, yes, I will be supporting whoever wins the primary wholeheartedly and, no, i'm not going to declare a candidate preference.
