Are you actually for Bernie or are you anyone but Hillary?

I'm having a hard time distinguishing.


Edit Adding the option Both at the request of some members.

I'm a far leftie and Bernie represents my way of thinking far more than Hillary does.

I AM impressed at her mastery of some serious governance stuff...she has lived up to her reputation on that score, IMO.

Give to campaign through DU for Bernie (ActBlue) and will continue to do so.

We have had too many Clinton-type democrats for too long. Time to break the habit.

it may be the most important. To me it means that I'm a Democrat and will vote Democratic regardless.

I don't understand. What is the purpose of this question?

And I'm definitely for Bernie but right now the R's are on the back burner. I see them but my attention is on present election. It's not a red v blue situation yet.

You are having a hard time distinguishing because your gaze is on a different election.

Which eliminates Hillary from my considerations because she won't be the most progressive candidate on the ballot.

I like Bernie, he's the best candidate we've had since I was eligible to vote...but if I have a singular motivation, it's to drive Hillary Clinton and her ardent supporters clear out of the Democratic party for the good of the future and the Democratic party. The only thing making it hard for me to say absolutely that I am voting against her under any circumstance is the absolute shitshow that the GOP would make of things if any of their candidates won the Presidency.

I'd absolutely be supporting just about anybody (and the GOP seems to have found every "just about" in that sentence) over an insincere, fake Democrat who I despise with a near-bottomless hatred. I'd no sooner support Hillary than I'd support a dictatorial strongman or a fascist or a totalitarian despot...she's on that level for me.

She lacks any redeeming quality (save one, as follows) as a human being, let alone a candidate. What is that one quality...she strikes me as not-incompetent which is more than I can say for Carson or Bush or Cruz or Rubio or Rand Paul. Trump strikes me as competent but irredeemably-evil.

But...hey, you asked. :/

...he was a Congressman-running-for-Senate who appeared on "The Al Franken (radio) Show."

I'm not for Anyone But Hillary. For example, I prefer her to former Senator Jim Webb (D-VA).

whether she wants to go to war, whether she wants a pipeline, whether she is a centrist or a progressive?


Don't bother polling, we can read gather all the data on these boards and draw our own conclusions. We don't need a consensus first.

I don't like her, but I wouldn't have supported Biden, either. Nor Webb. I'd support O'Malley, if Sanders wasn't in, and had E. Warren run instead of Bernie, I'd be supporting her.
