If the 2020 election were held today, for whom would you vote? Feel free to explain why. Options in alphabetical order
 
Honestly couldn’t tell you right now who I prefer. I won’t be voting for Bernie, Bloomberg, Steyer or Cheeto Jesus. Probably not Klobuchar, but my mind is open to her.

It’ll probably come down Warren, Biden or Buttigieg for me, but I’m not sure which.
 
I'm going to vote for Warren in the primary, knowing full well she has no chance. I will vote for whoever is opposing Trump in November. I will not vote third party. I will not abstain. This is too important. He must be defeated, and sadly, I don't think Bernie has any chance of doing so. It's all about mobilizing latent democrats to vote, and he won't do it.
 
I voted "Other."

Months ago when the field was larger and more diverse, I was really excited about the Democrats' chances of beating Trump this fall. I looked at all the candidates and just knew was there someone in there I could rally around, someone who would unite the party and put an end to this criminal administration.

I liked Beto, mostly because of his run at rat-boy Cruz, but he wasn't ready at all. I liked Harris well enough. I like Buttigieg, but I just don't see this country electing an openly gay man.

Now the field has been whittled down to Pete, Klobuchar and a bunch of old ****s — and I'm stuck with non-appealing options.

Biden? Old and losing his mind.
Bloomberg? His TV and radio ads are blanketing my Trump state, so I'm not sure why he's spending money here.
Buttigieg? See homophobic evangelicals.
Klobuchar? Thanks for playing. Here's a year's supply of Rice-O-Roni.
Sanders? The more I see of him, the less I like him. The sense of "you owe me" is off-putting.
Steyer? I like what he says just fine, but his candidacy is a joke.
Warren? Eh, meh.

I'm much less optimistic than I was five or six months ago. I'm tired of the endless campaigning and haven't watched a minute of the last four or five "debates." I'm tired.

I will vote for the Democratic candidate no matter who it winds up being. I just wish I could believe that person has a chance. I wish.

The two-party system is a joke. Trump is a clown. None of the Dems have a chance to win.
I'll "waste" my vote and continue with a third-party candidate and focus on local elections, where my voice can actually make more impact.
 
I'm really surprised how poorly the women candidates have done. I don't know why their campaigns failed to take off, but it is noticeable that they've failed to even attract women voters at a higher rate than Bernie, Biden or Mayor Pete when Harris, Klobuchar and Warren are all more accomplished and have fewer negatives than the men. Not sure if people are still stung by Hillary's loss or what.
 
Biden because I think he still has the best shot to bring together the Dem coalition.

But blue no matter who.
 
Bill Weld. A drunk, stoned, full-on Boston Brahmin without a care. He wouldn't do ****, which is a good thing.
 
What's not being discussed is "lame duck Trump" SHOULD he lose and the chaos he could wreak on the country and world ... let alone he might contest any loss, even big, and find a way to have it end up before SCOTUS. Not sure folks understand the severity of the situation. You think he's going to accept any loss? He thinks he's Putin. He thinks he's Jong-un. He thinks he's Erdogan. He thinks he's the greatest dictator the world has ever known. You think he's going to accept a 1-term presidency? Please.
 
I voted early for Warren today. She ain't gonna win, but she'd be the best President of the bunch. In 10-15 years, maybe Pete would be.
 
I voted early for Biden because I think he has the best chance to beat Trump.
Of those remaining, I'd rather Klobachar/Mayor Pete/Warren actually be POTUS.
As previously noted, come November, it's Blue No Matter Who.
I liked Beto from the start. I think Gavin Newsom missed an opportunity. I don't know if either would have been a good POTUS, but young, good looking guys are electable, and that's really the only thing that matters in 2020.

If someone actually does beat Trump on Nov. 3 and he contests the results, which he 1000% totally will, I do have a dread of actual violence in the streets of the United States.
 
Baring unforeseen circumstances, will vote for President Trump. Let the cascade of ridicule begin in 3-2-1 ...

I don't think Harris was a good candidate at all. Terrible, actually. I honestly think she's a kind of a fit for senator, maybe AG.

I have a lot of thoughts on Warren, a candidate I like on some level, that I think I'll try to share once she's done. One thing I think I know is that Warren sees the worst in almost everyone, it's her tendency, and it's not, for example, Biden or Buttigieg's tendency.
 
Wow. Your choice and your business. I don't understand it, but that's ok.

Really not sure who will get my vote. Still watching and listening. I lean Warren then Pete, but if they can't get to 20% or better they're out. I vote on Super Tuesday.

The only thing I'm certain of is that I will vote against Trump.
