I suppose it depends on what we hold more dear.

For months we heard vote for who you want in the primary but vote democratic nominee for the general. This is nothing like 2016.

the campaigns

She is NOT a candidate now

Warren supporter-donor here asking? Biden is adopting a lot of her ideas.

Just since January. Read between the lines.

I asked a thoughtful question.

if your vote won't count? Seems silly.

Just like protest voters in 2016, it really does have consequences.

That might not have been your intention but that was the effect.

Who do you think are more likely to brave the polls today? Young, healthy Bernie voters? Or older Joe supporters?

I didn't throw my vote away on one of the candidates who'd dropped out; and people like me, I believe, are why Joe beat Bernie in Washington state.

A lot of Warren supporters either would prefer Bernie or don't have a strong preference.

I was for Warren and don't have a strong preference between the two remaining candidates. So if I end up just voting for her anyway, it's not really a vote lost from either candidate, because I'm not sure who I'll vote for if she's not still on the ballot. So if you were to assume that my vote would otherwise go to Biden, you'd be incorrect. Probably ditto for OP.

it's hard to imagine someone having no preference between them.

Policy-wise I'm closer to Bernie, though not quite as far to the left as he is, and I feel strongly about corporate money having an outsized influence in politics, which hampers genuine progressive policies from being enacted without being watered down every time. On the other hand, I think Biden might be a stronger candidate in the general, and he has a proven track record of getting things done. In general, Biden seems more presidential, but he's also a gaffe machine and that worries me a bit because it complicates the optics of our argument that Democrats are far more competent and ready to take charge (though Biden's performance the other night assuaged my concerns on that). So I think there are pros and cons for both candidates. Warren was the best mix of what I like about Bernie and what I like about Biden.

Too bad America is too sexist, even among Democrats, to see that she was the one.

I voted for Warren on Super Tuesday, but I would have torn off my skin and eaten it before I voted for BS in the primary.

The only person I would have been less inclined to vote for would have been Tulsi. I hold them both in complete contempt. I’d crawl over broken glass, rats and rattlesnakes to vote for Biden over either of them if it was a choice between Biden and BS.

That’s because I vote for Democrats, not posers using the party for their own selfish ambitions.

away since the only candidates are are Biden and Sanders

Just my opinion

And I would have even if she had suspended her campaign before it.

In the general I'll vote blue no matter who, but I think that the strength of her primary performances will increase the amount of input she has to the future Democratic platform.

Why do you think early voting would disproportionately be bad for bernie?

The primaries were likely to be effectively over even by 4/28, and now Cuomo is talking about postponing even further. So assuming I have no real opportunity to influence the nominee selection, I'm just going to vote for the person I think would have been the best president. And even though I oscillated a bit during the competitive primaries because of the need to beat Trump, there was never any question in my mind that Elizabeth Warren would make the best president out of all of them.

Most of you Biden people have been saying it's over, no need to even hold more primaries. Then you complain when I decide to vote for the person I really wanted to vote for because my vote doesn't matter anyway.

If I had a strong preference between the two remaining candidates I'd probably vote for one of them, but since I don't and would be okay with either as the nominee I might as well vote for the person I wanted to vote for anyway.

I've voted in FL all my life and never have been informed what number voter I was. Is it on the sticker somewhere? *scratches at sticker* Nope.

I was number 57 at 10 o’clock or so.

I never noticed. Scanning is where you get the sticker. I guess I get distracted by the shiny and the prospect of GTFO.

Me too.

You win

Very impressive decision

And then you vote for someone who isn't even running. I wouldn't exactly describe that as brilliant.

Palm Beach County Represent.

Sending a message? To whom? What's the message? Will it be understood as "sending a message"?

You're fine.

Why someone would boast about such a thing is beyond me
