1. Other: We should put off efforts to divide the Democratic party until after the 2014 midterms.

Moot point? Sanders is not a Democrat and would not be in the Democratic primary.

Concentrate on 2014.

He appears to be less of a corporatist.

14. "RUN BERNIE RUN"

Hillary is nothing but a super rich corrupt politician that works for the corrupt greedy criminal private healthcare lobby, that has been screwing the poor and middle class for too long of a time. She proved that back in the 90's when her corrupt husband was president, and she claimed she was about to deliver the poor and middle class an affordable universal healthcare package, but as soon as the private healthcare lobby cut her a big fat check she stopped working on said affordable universal healthcare program, and threw the poor and middle class under the bus. Unlike Hillary, Bernie Sanders is an honest man and he will not sell us out to corrupt corporate lobbyists. Bernie will work to make the super rich pay their fair share of taxes and deliver us a single payer healthcare plan that the poor and middle class can afford. "RUN BERNIE RUN"

4. I would vote for Bernie, largely to push Hillary to the left

Assuming the Republican party still exists in 2016 as a possible winner of the presidency, I would be more comfortable with Hillary as our nominee.

But I would be happy to see Hillary pushed to the left during the primary process.

Primary votes are cast for a variety of reasons, so I would probably vote Bernie with the primary motive of expressing my support of his domestic agenda and to move Hillary closer to that agenda.

6. how does that work?

can you give some examples? Ive heard that candidates run from the left during the primary.
maybe I misunderstood what that meant?

[woo me with science]

13. They lie and claim to move leftward during election season anyway.

Any additional Bernie-inspired move leftward would be temporary and disingenuous.

She would pivot right back to Wall Street after the election.

GOTV 2014.

11. Bernie as a protest vote, if I thought there was real chance

he would be nominated I would have to look at his electability

[yurbud]

12. I would like to see the GOP go up against a candidate who isn't repackaging their conservative shit

and making vague progressive promises that fail to materialize once the candidate wins.
