  1. Just out of curiosity, any Americans here who were planning to vote for Bernie Sanders, who's your support going to now that he's endorsed Clinton? Between Clinton, Trump, Johnson, and Stein?

    1. @mrmattimation I primary-voted for Sanders in Georgia but will likely vote for Clinton, at least to keep a third presidential term for the Democrats.

      Not voting Green because Jill Stein is not, IMO, a decent articulator of Green Party values on a presidential candidate level. I would take the Green Party more seriously than a "protest party" if they were to get at least one Congressional seat and a few state legislative seats first, rather than resurface every presidential election year with a vanity presidential candidate who poses as "more holy than the icky Democrats" while pining for Democratic dissident voters. The way that Gary Johnson ragged on the Green Party in the 2012 RT America third party debate without an adequate Jill Stein response was embarrassing to watch. http://rainbowdash.net/url/848449

      Not voting for Johnson and the Libertarians since they are antithetical to the economic reforms which Sanders pushed for.

      Hell no to Trump.

      1. @blackgaynerd These are interesting points you're putting forward. I, also, will be voting Clinton in the general election, for pretty much the same reasons. I really do not like Hillary Clinton, but at the very least I'm fairly sure her presidency would just be like four more years of Obama, especially now that he's a part of her campaign.

        1. @mrmattimation Pretty much for "four more years of Obama". I'm worried about the Democrats' downticket ballot, however. They're in a historically bad place with Congress, governorships and state legislatures since 2014.
