Is It Me Or Does Anybody Else Feel....

[global1]

extorted in to having to vote for Hillary?

[SamKnause]

1. #Not With Her; Never !!!

[Califonz]

2. There's a write-in line on the ballot

and Bernie Sanders is easy to spell

[2pooped2pop]

3. works for me

[MissDeeds]

8. Me too

[SoapBox]

9. I will have my pen standing by, if necessary.

[Phlem]

14. That's the plan.

[jeff47]

20. If you're making a "protest vote", I'd recommend

voting for another candidate printed on the ballot.

The write-in votes are more or less lumped in to a "does not matter" bin, along with the votes for "Mickey Mouse" and "Reagan's Ghost". They are unlikely to be counted.

If your goal is to vote for Sanders, go for it.

If your goal is to indicate to the Democratic party that it is not doing well, vote for a candidate listed on the ballot so that it will be noticed.

[mopinko]

32. ^^^this^^^^^

in most states, afaik, write ins are not even tallied if there is not a registered write in candidate.
might as well write in zippy the pinhead, or donald duck.

[bkkyosemite]

39. I read Oregon says they will count them

[antigop]

4. is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to? nt

[haikugal]

5. No one HAS to vote for Hillary...Bernie is going to win this.

[SoapBox]

6. Yes.

But she will never get my vote, IF, she cheats/buys the nomination.

I've never despised the Clintons (the whole fucking family) as much as I have this year.

[MissDeeds]

16. Hillary and Bill have shown the very worst of themselves

I could never support someone who is so lacking in moral and ethical standards. They are obsessively driven by power and greed.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Nope.

She really doesn't interest me enough to care.

[Autumn]

10. I don't feel extorted at all. My vote is my voice.

My vote is also private.

[SoapBox]

12. And we have the Right to cast our vote as we see fit.

Darned those American Freedoms!

[Autumn]

15. I found that leaving the party that no longer represented me was most liberating.

That's my vote and I am content .

[LiberalElite]

37. Once we get through those

4 stages of grief - it feels wonderful.

[Autumn]

45. I have no grief. Just joy and freedom

I thought I would but it didn't happen.

[Katashi_itto]

11. Fuck em. My vote is mine.

[sarge43]

13. I've heard our behavior is driving people to vote for Clinton

Further, our votes really aren't needed and, anyway, we're nasty.

Wish Camp Weathervane and Team Clinton would stop flip flopping


Oh wait...

No, not extorted, merely annoyed or amused

[jeff47]

17. I feel like there are lots of people trying to do so.

But the nice thing about my vote is that it is mine.

(And I'm in a state Clinton can not win in the general, so symbolism is the only value of my vote)

[TIME TO PANIC]

18. I feel like my vote is being held hostage by the democratic establishment.

Either vote for our center-right candidate of choice, Hillary, or the "fascist" will win.

[djean111]

19. I don't feel I have to vote for Hillary - and I will not.

But, yeah, that "lesser evil" tripe is extortion.

[LiberalElite]

38. and "but the supreme court" guilt trip and "actions have consequences"

if they cared so much they'd support a viable candidate. Actions have consequences indeed.

[840high]

47. The guilt trip no

longer works on me. Bernie all the way.

[The Blue Flower]

21. I'll be writing in Bernie

I have always voted D and have never voted against my conscience. Other friends of mine, male and female, (I'm 66) have said the same.

[jpmonk91]

22. Yes

She is to conservative

[Maedhros]

23. Extortion has been the Democratic Establishment's play for nigh on 40 years now.

They lack ideas and vision, so they throw out a Party apparatchik and start talking about how crazy the Republicans are.

[jillan]

24. It's going to be difficult this year if Hillary is on the ballot. Having one candidate that you are

excited to vote for vs someone you have very little respect for...

and watching the msm cheer on the candidate you have very little respect for all the way to the nomination.

[greymouse]

42. watch the msm when she loses, either to Bernie or Trump

[jillan]

43. I bet we will finally be hearing the msm talk about voter irregularities & voter disenfranchisement

if that happens

[surrealAmerican]

25. If they care at all about those "down-ticket" Democrats ...

... they better hope we all show up on Election Day.

I will, but I always do. Not everybody is like me.

[peace13]

26. Don't feel pressured.

They can't make you do anything!

[Jester Messiah]

27. haha, no. Not happening.

They'd have to have a family member hostage or something.

[chknltl]

28. Eventually the oligarchy has to lose.

It may take their turning our planet into one where humanity struggles to survive but eventually they will lose.
It does not have to come to that.

[Lodestar]

33. Either citizens settle for oppression or they are in it for real transformation

which is much more difficult because it always involves 'death' and this system
is resistant to that level of change. It can't be changed from the inside out because
those on the inside won't voluntary 'die' for the better good.

[cantbeserious]

30. This Citizen Voted For A Clinton Twice - Never Again

eom

[merrily]

31. I don't. If you do, you should not be posting in this group, IMO.

[oldandhappy]

34. Choices!

Go Green! Or write in Bernie or maybe there will be other candidates for president in your state. And while I am encouraging you to vote for someone, I also don't want to to vote repub! sigh. Just want you to understand, you do not have to vote for clinton.

[inchhigh]

35. Not gonna happen

Absolutely zero chance I vote for her. Writing in Bernie as long as he has a heartbeat or I'll cast my first 3rd party vote since 1980. I consider that vote the greatest regret of my political life because of the amazing character and truly inspirational leadership characteristics of the guy I should have vote for (Jmmy Carter). I have no fear of feeling that regret about not voting for Billary.

I learned the wrong lesson then and became too loyal to a party that continued to drift away from its core principles. If she I nominated, the Democratic Party no longer exists.

[CoffeeCat]

36. It's no one's damn business who I vote for

My vote is my own. People died so I could vote. My vote is earned. It is not given away.

You can't guilt me about my vote. You can not emotionally manipulate me regarding my vote.

It is the responsibility of the candidate to earn my vote. I am not at fault for disagreeing with or choosing not to vote for a candidate.

This very personal choice is my own.

[greymouse]

40. No. They have a gnu to your head or what?

I will never vote for her. I would not vote for her if she were running against the devil.

A vote for Hillary says you approve of corruption, incompetence, and the Democratic party moving further to the right.

I plan to vote for Bernie. Hopefully as the nominee, but failing that I will write him in.

[bkkyosemite]

41. You people who want to write him in you have to check with your state. I found something

that says for Oregon you have to be a dem for the primary then by Aug be a independent..but it's always good to check with your election official if you decide.

[Bubzer]

44. Not at all... cause I wont vote for her.

[agracie]

46. Nothing or no one can MAKE you do anything. Write in Bernie, skip that part of the ballot, or go

Green.
