1. There are more than 2 genders (nt)

[vkkv]

4. Good point. In which case, logic suggests that a poll to determine a preferred candidate among

specific genders is then not applicable I suppose.
Or simply vote as one's most closely identified gender.. kind of goes without saying, right?

[Agschmid]

19. Some people don't identify at all.

[vkkv]

22. And a greater percentage of the populous never votes at all.... eom

[vintx]

6. But not more than two sexes. nt

[Zira]

14. Correct. People should go for what they identify as and not what anyone else

including their parents, doctor, or bigoted neighbor would choose for them.

[vkkv]

2. "Passed"? By ALL means - Write in a reply for who you would support.

[JonLeibowitz]

8. I'm voting for President, not prom king or queen.

Race nor gender nor sexual orientation is important. I'm old-fashioned that way.

[vkkv]

18. Jon, this poll is not about voting FOR male or female - it's a poll reflecting the VOTERS'

gender. So voting FOR Prom Queen or King is only one third of the info gathered since three candidates are listed but two sexes are voting... hmm. I never thought about it, "sexes" is a palindrome! Thank you JON!

[JonLeibowitz]

23. I read "Appeal for HRC as POTUS" as implying voter's gender somehow affecting the choice.

To me, that's nuts.

[vkkv]

25. Yes, I agree. It is nuts

And it would be easy to Google quotes that state how great it would be to have the FIRST women POTUS and somehow that shoulod get young women out to the polls...
Have you heard anything remotely like that this season? I have.

28. Yes I know, and that lunacy is incomprehensible to me. However, I chose "pass" to object

to the idea that this should be a topic of serious conversation. It's not a big deal.

[LostOne4Ever]

9. I would support Russ Feingold

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#009999]But since he is not listed it would be between Warren and Sanders for me.

I like them both equally so I would probably be like I was when O'M was in the race, support whoever is ahead at the time, but not be upset if one surpassed the other.

I will vote for Hillary in the GE if she is the nominee. Ultimately, the issues I support the most are advanced the most with a dem in the whitehouse. However, my vote would be more as opposing the republicans than for her.

I doubt she or any of her supporter could care less at my lack of enthusiasm though.[/font]

54. How does one use different font sizes, colors, etc. in DU comments?

It could really come in handy, and I like the look of yours.

[LostOne4Ever]

58. I created a mini tutorial you can use here:

[senz]

59. Wow, thank you, LostOne4Ever!

A dear friend is currently taking a website development class and has been showing me his class projects. I recognize the phrase "Cascading style sheet," from his show and tells.

I appreciate your sharing. It's very innovative and creative of you to adapt it to DU! [img][/img]

3. K & R

[cosmicone]

7. Utterly silly poll

It is like asking people in Mecca "how many of you are Muslim?"

[vkkv]

10. Sad that you would actually compare D.U. to Saudi Arabia

At this time there are ZERO votes for Hillary. This could mean a number of things, none of which am I voicing support.

HRC fans are unmotivated.

HRC fans won't show up to vote.

HRC fans feel over-whelmed and defeated by Bernie fans at DU but do not stop think about WHY Bernie has so many fans.

HRC fans are asking themselves if they are really SURE that HRC can win, given all the many investigations and liabilities? ... you know, like Bill.

[UglyGreed]

32. Hey I see you are doing well

on your transparency page, keep up the good work!!!!

[merrily]

39. Nothing like it, really. Christians have no reason to be in Mecca, except maybe sightseeing.

At DU, it's much safer for the minority than than for the majority. I doubt that's true at Mecca, either.

[Prism]

11. Hard to choose between Sanders and Warren

I like them both a great deal. I think Warren has the edge slightly, because she's been more directly in the fray against Wall Street. That isn't to diminish Sanders' efforts. I just feel like Elizabeth has been more out there with claws out, throwing haymakers. She's got a lot of grit, and I admire that.

[vkkv]

13. I too would vote for Warren......eom

[merrily]

41. I wouldn't, but what difference does this moot hypthetical make? She's not running.

[Zira]

12. Where do I "appeal" her getting POTUS? I know it's early but if she gets in in NOV

I would definitely like to appeal.

[vkkv]

16. That's a consideration! ....eom

[merrily]

42. Sorry, Scalia has passed.

[brooklynite]

17. I am.....not voting.

[vkkv]

20. Thanks for commenting !!

[RiverLover]

21. Female for Bernie AND female who wishes Elizabeth Warren had run for president. /nt

[vintx]

37. This for me too nt

[JonLeibowitz]

24. A lot of Bernie Bros here I see...Interesting.

[BainsBane]

27. The term is not gender specific

at least it's its common usage. (Said as someone who used it a lot when not on DU).

[JonLeibowitz]

35. Nonsense, it is very much gender specific.

[BainsBane]

36. Not how I and some others I know use it

I use it to refer to my aunt. I use it as a verb. In my mind, it refers to a type of behavior that doesn't extend to all Sanders supporters.
Clearly the term is gendered in its origin, but I do believe its usage has widened since that article.

[vkkv]

29. """ 24. A lot of Bernie Bros here I see...Interesting.""

Really? A Hillary Ho not a Bernie Bros, Jon?

[JonLeibowitz]

33. I was joking at the female Bernie supporters outnumbering the male.

[vkkv]

43. I've often thought that women are naturally quicker and smarter than men.

Might have something to do with testerone blocking access to all of our branesells,, that's my theory anyway.

[senz]

55. There is good and bad in both sexes. Neither is superior to the other.

Gender isn't all that big a deal. It's who you are as a person that counts.

[DemocraticWing]

30. Of course not. People who use terms like that have no intention other than smearing Democrats.

It's not so much Hillary support as "who can I piss off today?" Unfortunate that they must play this game when there's an election to win, but c'est la vie.

[BainsBane]

26. You can look at exit polls if you want information on gender and support for candidates

I'm not playing.

[vkkv]

31. But that is not D.U., right?

Get it?
Context !

[BainsBane]

38. No, it's about the state surveyed

which is far more relevant than a website. Exit polls provide actual data that can be used to draw certain conclusions. A poll like this is meaningless.

[vkkv]

45. This isn't an Exit Poll Bains.. it's DU and if you don't want to play -like you said -

then you don't have to. Easy man. Geeez.

[bigwillq]

34. Male for Bernie!

[Sheepshank]

40. oooohhhhhh a clickety click poll. How very inaccurate and unexciting!!!!! n/t

[pinebox]

44. Oh look another whining post from a Hillary supporter! #ShockedNotShocked

[Sheepshank]

48. whining with exclaimation marks? You are a lost little soul

[pinebox]

50. Lost is hanging out on a forum

and complaining someone posted a poll.
Why not comment and say who you support? You know, that thing.

[Sheepshank]

52. Why don't you stick with reply to the OP yourself

instead of stalking Hillary voters who initially only commented on the OP.

[pinebox]

60. Stalking lol

I'm not the one who acted like Captain Snarky Snark. You initiated it bud XD

[Sheepshank]

61. You are the one following me around making snarky comments to my posts. It's pathetic. Nt

[vkkv]

46. Thanks for commenting !!

[Sheepshank]

49. you are welcome...gotta keep the thread kicked n't

[Tarc]

47. Meh

[vkkv]

51. "Meh".. quoting Bill after Hillary's loss? eom

[Tarc]

53. Ahh, Camp Sanders gets funnier the further behind they fall

"Meh" wrt a clumsily-gendered silly poll.

[vkkv]

56. Sour grapes...

'The opposition is winning this poll.. stupid poll!'


Aesop fable.. the Fox and the Grapes.. look it up.

Here's help:

[Tarc]

57. Self-selections polls are not scientific

So, all you're measuring here is how many Sanders supporters vs Hillary supporters there are in the DU. We already know that those scales tip his way.
