I find this poll interesting at this point, 11 will vote for Hillary and 12 will not.

Except a few people voted who weren't Bernie supporters anyway.
 
Bernie supporters only in this poll, please. It's public.

Predictably that didn't stop the Hillary brigade from padding her numbers as we can clearly see:

Van Basten, beefheart, blarg, d0gbreath, Deuce, Fruityfact, haymarket, Jredbaron96, Russell797, Van Basten

All supporters of Hillary, _not_ Bernie.

That said, kudos to Phys251, Redress, Southerndemocrat, disneydude and Moot for showing restraint.

Jill Stein is a bit more left-wing than Bernie, but they agree on more than Hillary and Bernie do. Johnson and Bernie agree on everything up to government size and spending - wherein Bernie wants bigger government and more spending, and Johnson the opposite.

The single biggest and most material difference between Johnson and Bernie is that Bernie wants to stringently control money in politics recognizing the risk of plutocracy it poses, and how premium speech per private campaign finance/professional lobbying has effectively eliminated federal level representation for all but the rich ( https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites...testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf ), whereas Johnson wants unlimited money in politics, likely exacerbating the problem. Jill Stein agrees with Bernie with respect to the need for campaign finance control.

I don't like any of those four. So nobody.
 
I am voting for Jill Stein or Socialist Equality if it is on the ballot. I also respect Gary Johnson and hope he reaches 15% or better. Both Trump and Clinton are awful and Clinton's foreign policy is dangerous and reckless.

For your information I voted for Sanders in the Mass. primary. I will now vote for Clinton since she is my second choice by far over all others who have a chance of winning.

Fair enough; I hadn't seen any posts of yours specifically supporting Bernie but plenty that were either in defense or promotion of Hillary so I lumped you in with the others; my apologies.
