1. I have a big ol' clothespin.

[Jamastiene]

2. Got a spare?

Biden is not the worst I have ever had to hold my nose for, but still, we had something good going on the progressive side of the party until he joined the race. I will miss that.

He ain't Trump. So, I will vote for him. I just won't enjoy it as much as I could have, had it been someone more liberal. He is not even for legalization.

I keep thinking about DOMA. Anita Hill. The Jessie Helms cosponsored pro-segregation legislation. The whole thing just stinks. I am going to need a big ol' clothespin.

5. All of that plus ...

The credit card industry sh*t and not supporting M4A. Just more of the same ol', lame ol'. Hope with little chance of any real change. Round 2

9. I'm wondering about voting in the Florida primary

If Bernie drops out tomorrow or this week. It’s a moot point to vote. I’d say cancel all the rest of them. Save money and lives of conovirus.

3. I am so depressed. Every election for decades I've voted progressive, and never once

had my first choice candidate become the party nominee (except for Gore) let alone the president.

Just once in my lifetime I'd like to see a truly progressive president, a party that backs him or her, and real political change.

I've often thought how different America would be today if Robert F. Kennedy or Howard Dean or Bernie Sanders had become president, or at least Al Gore to solve climate change.

Dr. Dean was the first to really understand that we needed true healthcare reform. Hillary tried for a while but neither she nor Obama did nearly enough.

Healthcare costs are pricing us out of our home. We don't have a candidate left who will fight for healthcare for all. I will vote for Biden, but with tears in my eyes, wondering what the future holds.

I know he will do some good things. He'll appoint better people to the Supreme Court. Hopefully roll back the racist policies toward immigrant families and do at least something about climate change, but I fear it may not be enough.

4. I will vote for Biden easily

To parallel Sanders on Clinton in the 2016 Campaign

Biden on his very worst day is a million times better than Trump on his very best day.

[LexVegas]

6. Most Bernie supporters will fall in line. nt

[AverageJoe]

7. I will enthusiastically vote against trump

I will never abandon my progressive values, however.

[Claritie Pixie]

8. I will vote for Joe of course! No question.

[comradebillyboy]

10. I presume that every DU member will vote blue. No need

to nag the Sanders supporters here.

[Poiuyt]

13. Well, I see at least one person said that they would vote 3rd party

[comradebillyboy]

14. That violates the DU TOS so I expect they will be gone soon.

Every primary season DU loses folks who can't bring themselves to vote for the nominee. 2008 was really brutal in that regard.2016 was almost as bad.

11. blu no matter who

I know the results are still coming in, but would invite aspiring DUers to compare this to results of a similar poll a few primaries ago in which Senator Sanders wins the nomination.

[lees1975]

12. Progressives need to be included in the campaign

I think Biden, if he is the nominee, in order to win the November election needs to light the fire under the younger voters to come out in bigger numbers than they have been. The VP pick needs to be a progressive favorite and policies need to be in the platform like a really progressive health care agenda that includes medicare for all who want it and some tax improvement for the working class. Student loan debt forgiveness and no tuition junior college.

[BGBD]

15. Trump

is going to start playing up this idea that Bernie was cheated. He did this four years ago and a lot of people fed right into it.

[Marrah_Goodman]

16. I'll vote for Biden of course

But it won't be with any real enthusiasm. I'd vote for a pet rock against Trump.

[totodeinhere]

17. I like the way that question is phrased. It will be perfectly possible to remain a Bernie supporter.

He will return to the Senate and continue his work from there. And we will be able to continue to support him in that work.
