Vote for Bernie in the Times person of the year poll here

http://time.com/4108617/person-of-the-year-poll-2015/

So far he's at 78 percent.

On edit: when you vote for Bernie, it shows next to his face 78 percent. When you click the link to get updated poll results with a list for everyone, he shows at the top at 11.9 percent.

I guess the 78 percent means that 78 percent of people who chose to vote yes or no for Bernie, voted yes.

I voted 'yes' on a handful of folks when I did my voting, but other than Bernie most of them are buried in the pack.

will be hillarious. Heads will explode. That is if he gets it. I understand the will of the people can be overturned by super delegates or something like that.

He could be at 100 percent and that doesn't mean they'll choose him.

And, given how the media likes to ignore him, my guess is that they won't choose him, despite their poll.

You have to sign up to Twitter or Facebook to vote.

Is there a way around this ????

But, look on the bright side: all those votes for Bernie are just one person each (plus a small handful of very determined people who want to spend time working around that precaution.)

The Hillarians can't say someone cleared their cookies to vote a million times.
