Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: With only one candidate remaining, how can anyone around here still be "Undecided"? [View all]thesquanderer
(12,334 posts)Other candidates are still on most (all?) state ballots. In fact, knowing Biden will get the nomination (eliminating any concerns over electability, for example, or someone you REALLY don't like getting the nomination) actually frees someone to simply make known who they would truly prefer in an ideal world.
I changed my preference to Biden when Warren dropped out, for reasons I described at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287672216 -- reasons I believed he was a better choice than Sanders who was the only other potentially viable possibility at the time. But in fact, now that I don't have to worry about the nod going to Sanders, I might very well vote for Warren if she's on my ballot, to make that statement of support. (Though as it happens, this site does not let me switch my displayed preference away from Biden!)
At any rate, I don't believe in purity tests, and I respect anyone's decision to display or not display their preference, for whatever reason. Nobody on this site is obligated to announce their voting preference to the world.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
