I hope people asking who supporters of a candidate will turn to if their favorite drops out

will consider self-deleting their OPs, so the board doesn't fill up with OPs like that targeting every candidate's supporters.

It's too early.

And it's too divisive.

Now, if you want to ask everyoone if they want to list multiple candidate preferences, in orderr, that's another matter. Though we've already had a number of those threads, as I recall.

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

As soon as you delete all of your attacks on Harris, how does that sound ? It seems that there might be a double standard going on when it's open season on all candidates except one. Why is that?

I actually did NOT ask who supporters of Biden's would take as a second choice, I asked that if for some reason, I did not mention any specific reason, Biden himself dropped out, who would he, Joe Biden support out of the other candidates. Whys is that such a bad question?

I also am pretty sure I have seen other posts about of candidate X was to drop out their support would go to you know who!

Biden has been around 13%, 2nd - for a very long time. And Sanders has been 4th - No other polls reflect this.

Probably missed them. I hate Primary Season at DU.

With the exception of a tiny handful of candidates - all of these people are amazing. Even if she had a lobotomy - your choice would be better as President.
