[quote=The-Shoveler][quote=CA renter]Yep. I’ve been telling people that if Bernie didn’t make it past Clinton’s firewall, Trump would win in November. [/quote]
LOL I was saying the same thing.
I am staging my own personal revolt by writing in Bernie.[/quote]
As a long-time, die-hard Bernie Sanders supporter, I understand your choice to write in his name. I’ve heard that it’s important to write out his full name, along with the VP pick for his ticket (both were required in order to get him qualified as a write-in candidate).
Bernard “Bernie” Sanders (for President)
Tulsi Gabbard (for Vice President)
Not sure how things would be affected if Tulsi’s name were left off, so I recommend that you include both names. Please share this information with anyone else who might want to write him in.
He officially qualified for write-in status just a couple of days ago. FWIW, he has not asked to be included as a W/I candidate, and has expressed to certain people that he did not want to be included. This write-in effort was a 100% volunteer effort by people who love Bernie and couldn’t see themselves voting for any other candidate.
Some of us (myself, included) have been trying to discourage the write-in campaign because he has made it clear that he didn’t want to do it, and because we feel that it’s more important at this point in time to break the monopoly of our two-party system. For this reason, many of us former Bernie supporters are going to be voting for Jill Stein (a few will be voting for Johnson) because we want to reach the 5% threshold, at which point they will be entitled to federal funding, and will have a more viable path to office.
