Yes. But I'm not going to lie, if for some reason we end up with Tulsi, that resolve will be tested.
This! I can't believe so many of you are suggesting Bernie is your worst case...worse than Tulsi, really?
If it's someone I'm really unhappy about I'll be putting a lot more of my energy into getting Gardner out of office, but I'm still not going to be complicit in giving the orange menace another 4 years.
Under normal circumstances probably not but since our current circumstances are anything but normal, I will vote for whoever the Democratic candidate is, no questions asked. I won’t be happy if it’s Bernie but I’ll still do it.
Yes. At one point (Nader 96, maybe? Except I couldn’t vote yet), I would have thought that sending a message to the DNC was an important thing to do. But now that just seems enormously privileged.
When I made the poll, I’d forgotten Tulsi was still in. But I guess that’s the difference between someone maybe having suspicious ties, and the orange one who certainly does. So yes, even then.

I focus more on Bernie than Tulsi because she has virtually no chance of becoming the Dem nominee and he has a marginally good chance of winning the primary. I definitely think Tulsi is worse than Bernie but she isn’t running an actual campaign.

Tulsi doesn't have a chance in hell of being the nominee.

Yes, and I will be active in GOTV. My money depends on the candidate - I’m in a solidly blue state, but there are some down ballot races I’m concerned with.
Yes. I will canvass and write postcards and do everything in my power. Then when it’s time to vote, I’m going to wear my shirt that says “Tired of hearing from old white men.”
Very long time lurker here. I am active in the local dem party and will absolutely vote for any dem nominee ... unless it’s Sanders. If it’s him, I Will probably not vote for president (but will for down ticket races). My husband is the same. We are in a purple state.
ETA: I predict that if Sanders is the nominee the dems will suffer a historical rout

Yes
My time and money may be spent on flipping the NC US Senate seat and for our congressional rep. My district should go blue with the new maps but I don't want to take anything for granted.
We are also working to flip some seats in the NC House and Senate.
So I may spend time campaigning for the presidential nominee, but if it is Bernie or Tulsi I will probably focus my efforts elsewhere. I will still vote for them but not sure I will actively campaign for them.
I’m not worried about Tulsi getting the presidential nomination. I am worried about Bernie getting the nomination and choosing her.
I am genuinely trying to figure out who he would choose as VP and who would actually want to accept it. He’s not exactly known for his humility or working well with others. I imagine Warren would choose Castro and Biden would choose Harris or Abrams. I could see Pete choosing Abrams (I also think Tammy Duckworth would be a solid pick for him - play up military experience to contrast with Trump). But Bernie? What reasonable person wants to be his VP pick?

I could see many reasonable people wanting to be his VP pick. The odds of being promoted are strongly in their favor.
I don’t care what color your state is, you all should vote blue no matter what. We need every vote to show trump (well mostly the historians who will be studying this era in horror) that he does not have the will of the people. And if we ever hope to get rid of the electoral college showing vote totals vs electoral votes will be helpful!
Definitely will vote blue but idk about the rest. I will be bummed if Warren isnt the pick but I feel like i will probably get behind anyone who has a shot at getting the current asshole out.
I see so much real need for donations to people and social support organizations that I struggle putting my donation money to campaigns. I think the whole campaign spending thing is bullshit and that it shouldn't take so much money from hardworking americans to elect representatives, especially these days when they typically dont actually serve the people. Ive made a few small donations to Kamala and Warren and if those were for nothing, I'm not that inspired to throw away more money honestly.

Lurker.
Blue no matter who. I’ll even get a yard sign. I was lukewarm on Hillary and didn’t then (there were almost no signs at all where I live in 2016) but even if it’s Bernie I’ll hold my nose and stick it in the ground!
I am the female precinct leader in my precinct and I'm curious if we'll be handing out literature about the presidential candidate in addition to down ballot races since KS is such a red state. Re-electing Rep Davids and trying to keep Kobach from becoming senator are the big ones. And then trying to get more Ds into our state house.
