(19,926 posts)Otherwise, someone new. But I can't vote for someone who I think is detrimental to the well being of our country and our democracy. I have to look into O'Malley, don't know much about him at all. It's early though. Mostly I'm just sick of having Hillary considered the presumptive nominee and her supporters telling us that if we don't vote for her we want a Republican. The primary hasn't even started yet!
Fwiw, my individual vote won't make much of a difference as my state will go blue in the presidential even if I don't vote. But personally, I think it's wrong for anyone to state they'll vote for the nominee no matter who it is because then there's no incentive for TPTB to allow us to have anyone further left. It's like telling someone you'll stay with them even if they cheat, well, then guess what? The Dem Party needs to believe they will lost a lot of their support if they don't shift back to the left where they belong, otherwise why should they? But maybe they don't care.
