Just one note to all those going, but, but if you do not vote for the nominee... [View all]

folks, the Primaries are at least six months from now. We do not know who is running YET. We have a slew of POSSIBLE candidates

Hillary Clinton. ...
Joe Biden. ...
Andrew Cuomo. ...
Beau Biden. ...
Martin O'Malley. ...
Deval Patrick. ...
Kirsten Gillibrand. ...
Cory Booker.

Mind you, NONE of them has declared, And this list is all but complete.

I have been covering races since 2010. I know that primaries are exciting, and that they are always surprising. So really, I am not advocating for any of these candidates. I know a few of them by name. I know a couple by policy ( and don't particularly care for them), but serious, the process has not even started.

If you want to advocate for one of the people on this list, by all means. But threatening people or talking of inevitable candidates is a poison to whatever remains of democracy.
