2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The DNC declared war on 85% of Democratic Underground's members today [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)29. Bernie will not split the ticket, and I don't throw my vote at non-candidates
So while I totally get the "fuck the DNC" sentiment, I won't be voting for Sanders if he's not the nominee.
I'll vote for the most liberal person on my ballot. Like I was saying back in 2014, when the browbeating campaign began.
