How'd it turn out? Hillary 79 - Bernie 21?

Vote for Sanders. His message desperately needs to be heard, and heard LOUD by the Democratic powers-that-be. Trump is so friggin' loud and stupid, it's not like his buffoonery will be ignored. But Trump is not a worthy opponent, and he contributes NOTHING of value to the conversation. It's up to the Democrats and Democratic voters to "talk amongst ourselves."

I voted and voted very proudly and gleefully for Sanders and his platform.

I will continue to very strongly support these platforms before, during, and after I also vote for Hillary Clinton who is not my first choice, but she is my second. Any GOP contender is so far a distant thi... no, not even third. It is inconceivable that I would even let Trump or anyone from his GOP family win.

Vote for Sanders in the primary.

Vote Never-Trump (and likely your conscience will direct you to HRC) in the general.

Vote for who you want to vote for. That's the point, isn't it?

I agree that you should vote for Bernie to support his progressive message. Hillary will likely win.

I'm pretty sure you're the ones not listening. Hillary supports all the same goals Bernie does.

No, the Democrats are now moderate Republicans and the Republicans are now just a straight up loony bin.

Any vote for Bernie at this point will help give the Democrats the message that people want the party to move in a progressive direction. Sadly, the Dems have their fingers firmly stuck in their ears.

DC will go heavily to Clinton so a vote for Bernie will not negatively impact her. Both candidates support statehood. Vote for Sanders if you support his message.

I'm a DC voter, still mulling over whether to vote for Bernie to send a progressive message and support statehood or whether that vote would damage Hillary, which i definitely do not want. Any arguments on either side that I may not have thought of?
