I think after the primary is over these kind of statement will apply leftofcool Nov 2015 #1

It says never, though randys1 Nov 2015 #2

I think there's a distinction between SAYING you won't vote D and ADVOCATING for not voting D brooklynite Nov 2015 #3

So i can say "I will knowingly NOT vote even though that means a vote FOR the GOP" randys1 Nov 2015 #5

As I understand things, yes brooklynite Nov 2015 #14
