Everyone is free to comment but, please, only vote in the poll if you intend to vote in the actual Democratic primary. The poll is public.

Bernie supporters certainly seem to be the most vocal on the board but I will be curious to see if it is reflected in the numbers.
 
I will puke at those options and cry.

Then I will FeelsBadMan at the fact that I'll be 18 2 months after the 2016 election.
 
Been thinking about this for a bit now. I've considered myself a sanders supporter, but I recognize the reality of things: sanders will not be able to get much done, if anything. Hillary is more moderate and capable of compromise.
 
Why isn't the poll public? I clicked the box to make it public.
 
When exactly will you do this? The voting I mean?
 
I guess I will vote for Martin O'Malley (if I vote at all) in the Democratic primary, as this would be my reaction to a Sanders/Clinton presidency:

Hillary is capable of supporting the status quo and will do nothing but.

I agree that pragmatism works in favor of Hillary Clinton.

I'm not a Democrat, so I cannot vote...but if I were, I would have checked "Hillary Clinton."

It varies from state to state. The first is today in Iowa and the last is Sep 13 in Rhode Island with all the rest spread out between.

I, for one, am now fully on-board with Bernie!

Unfortunately, my State doesn't count in the Primary, nor (virtually ever) in the Presidential.

Which really sucks!

With my pizza, popcorn, and refreshments all laid-out on national election nights, which usually are a family event, it's terribly disappointing knowing this as I watch the returns come-in. :(

Contrast formerly with local elections when I lived in the city, where I would spend the day (from early before dawn!) in the precincts getting-out the vote, and spend the night in the candidate's headquarters surround by a throng of workers and supporters KNOWING I made a tangible difference!

Oh well, c'est-ce la vie ...

She's more moderate in the sense she's right wing lite (by American standards; she's true right wing by the standards of most of the rest of the developed world, whereas the Republicans are lunatic fringe).

Besides that, the Republicans hate her far more than Bernie, and the e-mail investigation has only intensified (which could prove a massive if not terminal liability in the general). Overall, assuming the Republicans retain power in the House and Senate, I can't see her not getting stonewalled at least badly as him, and in Bernie's case, he'll make effective, scathing use of the bully pulpit to achieve his political aims if the Republicans don't play ball.

Hillary has the most votes here for now. Wonder how she turns out in Iowa?
 
Bernie all the way.
