15. I think it's absurd

Mar 2020

To try to require someone to vote, no less vote for a particular candidate or party. Last I checked, you have a First Amendment right to vote, or not vote, and a right to vote for a candidate of your choosing. And how is the pledge going to be enforced? I’ve talked to plenty of Dems not on this board who have indicated that they would consider writing in a candidate rather than cast a vote for Bernie. This is a fair question and it’s the elephant in the room.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
