Will You Vote for Hillary in November?

In the interest of honesty, I'm taking Option One, but I realize there are others on this board who feel differently.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams(D)

More than is is not really your business and the loyalty oath stuff has been going on since the primaries started and is getting really, really old.

Will these stop on DU after the primaries since the answer is supposedly assumed?

I just think these threads tend to actually be more divisive than helpful and have been used as a way to get Sanders supporters to break a longstanding DU rule. I have no idea your thinking in posting this. I just know the history of these types of threads.

Even in 1980, when I thought Carter was getting a lot of shit wrong, I
voted to keep him in and Reagan out. It was my first presidential vote. Sadly, I failed. And, crazy as it sounds, I took the ineffectiveness of my vote personally. Politics can really mess with one's mind!

And the only person I want to disenfranchise is Trump: I wanna disenfranchise him from even getting near the White House!

If I could bring myself to vote for Gray Davis who I loathe, I can bring myself to vote for Hillary Clinton who I think so disgraced herself during the Bush administration and 2008 that she is unfit for public life.

I usually don't vote in primaries. However, I do support Hillary and will vote for her in the general.

But I'm familiar with Godwin's Law. If I've wrongly suggested that you were invoking it, I apologize.
