2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHow many of you are still undecided about who to vote for in the primary?
I'm still deciding, and I've got a little while before my state is up.
For those who are undecided, what do you see as the pros and cons of each candidate?
(I'll post mine later)

(362 posts)We're voting absentee and are waiting for our ballots.
I honestly don't who to vote for. Initially I thought I'd vote for Bernie, because the GOP hates Hillary so much. But they also hate the term "Democratic Socialist". And there is still that "waiting for the shoe to drop" fear as regards Hillary. No one wants a problematic email to be disclosed in June.
So I honestly don't know. And I have to fill in that form soon.

(46,179 posts)I wanted one thing: a non-neo-liberal candidate to support.
For awhile I was worried that nobody would step up. I was relieved when Bernie did. My support was a given.
He has exceeded my expectations in every arena. I'm thrilled to be supporting him.

(56,582 posts)It's already going to be a structurally difficult year for a D nominee. The field was way too narrow to begin with (that is Clinton's "fault" . We're down to two candidates older than my retired parents, who will face significant problems in the general. I'll get to vote on Super Tuesday (though the Democrats Abroad system is very weird, the more I learn about it) and I really am stuck in a "lesser evil" calculation that depresses me more every day.
