15. No, I think they'll vote Green or leave it blank

Or they will vote Democrat if the Democrat is a progressive like AOC, but they won't vote for more moderate Democrats in swing states. Because the people I am talking about are people who didn't vote for Hillary in 2016 (and probably didn't vote for Obama in 2012) but would have voted for Bernie in 2016 and would vote for him now. And it's good that there are people willing to vote for him who have not always voted for other Democrats, but that doesn't mean they will vote straight ticket Dem down the ballot.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
