As you might guess, I'll be voting for Hillary. I recently received my MD absentee ballot as I will no longer be here by the time the MD primary finally rolls around.

I'm not worried about the math and I wholeheartedly believe that Hillary is the better candidate for many, many reasons. Bernie is a good challenger. While he was expected to win yesterday so the wins were no surprise, he also deserves congratulations for them. I'm also glad he's staying in for now.

But the electoral map and the omnipresent delegate math are both more favorable to Hillary in the end. I do not need to "engage" with anyone about that. But if I see something that is blatantly inaccurate or that continues the repetition of GOP-themed memes against Hillary, I will respond to set the record straight. If the person whose post offends then responds to me with deflection (the usual) or worse (name-calling, etc.), I simply put them on Full Ignore. Life is too short - at least for me, at 70+.

I have already trashed GD-P and life is much nicer without it, believe me.

Whichever candidate you support in the primary is your decision and you will have your valid reasons for doing so. I will not be among those to criticize you for supporting Bernie if that is your choice, so long as you do not trash Hillary in the process. If you do ultimately cast your vote for Hillary, even better!

Thanks for your OP.
