I'm not really undecided.

[Towlie]

I've noticed that people here who choose to display their favorite candidate thereby compromise their ability to project objective opinions. When I read their posts I tend to think "well you would say that since you're a ------ fan."

So, although I do currently favor one of the Democratic candidates, I prefer to keep that to myself so that I can freely state my opinion about any issue without an appearance of bias.

[dewsgirl]

1. Me too, I actually chose one for quite a awhile and then realized

what you are saying. I actually have two at the moment.

[onecaliberal]

2. I was for Kamala. I'm for all of them. Anyone will be other worldly better than what we have now.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Same with me.

There are two, maybe three candidates I am enthusiastic about, and several whose nomination would completely dismay me.

But by remaining officially undecided I can comment more neutrally, or perhaps seem more neutral.

[KPN]

13. Ditto here.

[marble falls]

4. I know who I prefer, but I am voting for the 'leader' at the primary.

[Heartstrings]

5. Same here....

And I’m not about to get into “arguments” about my choice, and will support which ever candidate gets the nomination.

[Martin Eden]

6. Are you sure you're NOT based?

Just kidding. Your OP makes sense, and my bet is your candidate selection was the result of unbiased consideration.

I am actually still undecided, though I recently started a thread stating my thoughts about Joe Biden being the most likely to beat Trump in what could be a close race we must not take for granted.

[lunatica]

7. I agree with your assessment

I’m not undecided because I can’t decide. I will vote for the nominee without reservation.

[secondwind]

8. Frankly, I am for anyone ......

except the current resident in the WH

[alwaysinasnit]

9. In the end, for almost all of us here on DU, we will happily vote blue no matter who.

(I am borrowing the last part of that sentence from a DU'er, although I can't remember the moniker.)

[Hoyt]

10. Supposedly, we are to designate who we'd vote for today. But, I'm waiting too.

[Mr.Bill]

11. When I look at those debates

I feel like I'm looking at the President, VP, Cabinet and Senate leadership. I see them as a team. Maybe the best Democratic team in my lifetime.

[stopwastingmymoney]

20. Yes, absolutely

[karynnj]

34. I have seen that happen on DU in 2 of the 3 "open" nomination races

I saw people suggest that others that ran in 2004 should be in Kerry's and Obama's cabinets, once they were seen as the de facto nominee. (Early in 2008, many proposed President Clinton/VP Obama/AG Edwards) In 2016, I really did not see it.

Does it happen? Kerry did take Edwards as VP and we don't know who else he would have placed anywhere. Obviously, Obama did make HRC SoS and Biden VP. (There were good reasons NOT to put Edwards, Dodd, Richardson or Kuchinich in any position.) This would suggest that being in the race can make someone high profile - making their inclusion in the government more likely.

[DanieRains]

12. Me Too

And I like them all.

[Hortensis]

14. My position also, but eventually, as Biden continued to do far better

than everyone else and also to be head and shoulders above the dwindling field in what I wanted in our next president, I realized none of others I could endorse was likely to rise to serious contention.

Biden's focus is on saving our democracy so that we will in future still be able to decide things like what healthcare systems we want. For me, saving our government of the people, by the people, and for the people is #s 1-100 on any list of 100 priorities.

[Volaris]

26. My only real concern is that he wants me to believe that he can get elected republicans,

to help him do that.

And that seems delusional to me just now.

I would much prefer a dem president who will hold these fuckers to account for the crimes they have committed FIRST, and THEN be willing to extend the hand. And if elected republicans are willing to take that hand, then fine. But we have to be DONE with 'looking forward' where obvious domestic Constitutional, Humanitarian and War crimes have been committed.

And honestly, as long as the next president is a dem, I'm fine with that. But what this country NEEDS is The Next Elliot Ness as Attorney General.

[JudyM]

33. Yes!

No letting then walk away from this, as we let them walk away from the travesties of Iraq.
Big bold action on climate. And fix the election infrastructure, dammit!

[tiptonic]

15. I'm decided

John Kerry for President. Watch comrade Benedict donald (borne spurs), piss his pants.

[pangaia]

22. LOL Not so funny, of course... that would be interesting-----

[underpants]

16. It's Marianne...isn't it?

I'm pretty sure it is. Don't worry I won't tell anyone.

[Cary]

17. Vote blue no matter who

[cwydro]

18. I completely agree with you.

I understand why people keep “undecided” as their choice.

I’m a bit confused why some display a candidate choice whom they’ve made clear they hate.

[pangaia]

23. interesting.. I only noticed one person who did that and has since changed,,

[MerryBlooms]

28. Or the ones who say there is something 'fishy' about us undecideds and go into CT mode.

We're all supposed to be on the same side, but you sure as hell wouldn't know it from this forum.

[BluesRunTheGame]

19. I don't assume 'undecideds' are unbiased.

As a matter of fact their bias is often obvious.

[PatrickforO]

21. Good points all. Maybe you all are wise.

But, then, we've all see each others posts and because of that can probably guess where along the continuum of candidates a given one of us might be.

I mean, if I had undecided instead of Warren, and you read a few of my posts, particularly those on healthcare, you could pretty much guess who I'd be supporting.

That said, anyone with a pulse will be just fine as a replacement for Trump. My 10-month-old Siamese kitten would be a better president that 'the Donald.'

[Dem4Life1102]

24. I am undecided

That doesn’t mean that there are those I like better than others. But I’m not going to invest myself in any candidate who may not still be in it by the time my state’s primary rolls around.

[seaglass]

25. I really am undecided. At times I've had Elizabeth and Kamala as my choice. I think I also had

Kristen as a choice for a brief period. I know more who I don't want than who I do.

[MerryBlooms]

30. Same here.

[LiberalBrooke]

27. I have decided to support any democratic candidate endorsed.

We have so many great people running, it will be easy to volunteer for any of them.

[UniteFightBack]

29. If you're objective, you're objective....then it shouldn't matter if you are displaying your

candidate.

[Demsrule86]

31. Since you have a favorite...I hardly think you are unbiased...but I consider this almost deceptive

to have an unknown favorite that shapes your opinions and posts all the while claiming to be undecided; I honestly don't give much weight to the opinions of those who say they are undecided because many like you are not undecided at all. And since I have no way to know where they are coming from, I can really evaluate their posts.

[Tipperary]

32. I am undecided still.

I changed my preference twice and decided I just cannot make a choice as yet. That being said I like all our candidates except for two.
