(54,476 posts)1.) Do you want Bernie supporters to vote for Democrats in November?
Well, DUH. I want EVERY eligible voter to vote for Democrats in November.
2.) Do you think their votes would help put Democratic candidates over the top?
ALL votes for Democrats would help put them over the top.
3.) What do you think can be done to persuade them to vote for Democrats?
Nothing. They will "vote their conscience." In 2016, for most of them , that was Hillary. For some, it was Jill Stein. For some, it was writing in Sanders. I would say, consider the consequences of the alternative, but then, that is the same message from last time.
4.) Would you prefer they a) not vote, or b) vote for third party candidates?
OK, if I REALLY come across as this stupid, I am a hopeless case. I choose c) that they vote for a Democrat. It may not have been one of your choices, but fortunately, it IS one of theirs.
