It’s not a protest vote. Your state is not a winner take all state, so your vote counts for something. The nominee needs delegates and coming in third vs fourth because of your vote helps.

“If you go to the middle of the country, people would say, ‘If your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that’s not a winning formula for most people,’” Bloomberg says in the video. “They care about…

Most people I’ve talked to, they want exactly that, a Warren/Sanders ticket. And yet from anyone online its “oh that will never happen”. Again, the tribalism thing, the polls, the media. Sigh. I’m fine with their ages, but then again I come from a family where people run farms into their 90s so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I genuinely believe he can defeat Trump.

M4A - I get why Warren wants a slow roll out, but no matter what it’s going to be slower than whoever wants it. We need to start fighting hard for it as soon as we can, otherwise it’s just going to take longer and longer

This. I’m a Bernie fan but not a rabid one. I was hoping it would come down to those two and hell, was hoping it would be a Sanders/Warren ticket (I know, I know, I’ve been told that would never happen) and have been super bummed she’s not been doing well. Hopefully she picks up.

The mental gymnastics in these comments of people who preference Warren but will never vote Bernie floor me, in much the same way as those who would vote Bernie but never Warren. It just seems like tribalism at this point, and I’m sad to see it amongst a crowd I usually respect.

I agree, Liz was doing well til she moved toward the center and her numbers went down. I think if she would have stayed left she would be winning this. 

A lot of people put value in someone who has had consistent morals throughout their entire career.

I like Warren better as president (and in general). I think Bernie is more likely to get there.

This exactly. I love Warren. Was hoping she would run back in 2016. The caving in on health care was bad. The “leak” to CNN about Bernie’s supposed comments just before a debate also hosted by CNN was a sign of a larger character/judgement issues. It was desperate.

That still doesn’t make sense, because the media has been downplaying Sanders throughout the entire primary. They routinely left him out of polling graphics and/or ridiculously omitted him from headlines. Here is one of MANY examples, that you probably weren’t paying attention to, which was the point:

Men will always be scared of women smarter than them (which is the majority of women. DJT the Impeached is an example) They don’t like her plan to tax their inflated wealth, and that she has more stamina than men half her age, myself included. She’s my choice for sure.

Not sure where you got that rule, but media hype is whatever the media wants it to be.

I hope you appreciate this takedown of Pete B. as much as I do. I couldn’t quite figure out why he bothered me so much, but I now have it articulated for me by a better writer.

I really don’t understand how Mayor Pete is doing so well.

Warren’s big mistake was all about healthcare.

I’m rooting for either of the two progressive candidates. I am personally indifferent as to which one gets the nomination. Either way, I am voting for whomever gets the nomination come November and I’ll even enthusiastically try to convince those around me to do the same. I think Warren or Sanders would stop the…

The fact that Warren supporters are apparently flocking in droves to moderates like Pete and Amy shows they were never “in this fight” for the right reasons.

I think she started getting erased as soon as she proposed the plan for her wealth tax. Who owns the media? Rich people. God forbid they pay their fare share — which they might have to if Warren is elected.
