D1P Democratic Primary Poll

[Massdriver]

Thanks to @SaysWho? for the candidate list! The candidates are listed in order of their national polling numbers according to fivethirtyeight. The results of this poll are public. This thread isn't meant to take the place of the official thread. Have fun!

 

[Joe]

Warren/Bernie

[stepee]

I was really tempted to vote Bloomberg/Steyer

[thewhyteboar]

Warren/Bernie but right now it's close. At the beginning I was probably 80/20 Warren/Bernie but now it's probably more like 55/45.

[osxmatt]

I’m also Warren/Bernie.

[MarSolo]

Warren/Bernie.

 

That would also be my ideal ticket.

[CitizenVectron]

Warren/Bernie. But both are great!

[GeneticBlueprint]

Surprised so many are saying Warren. Cool. She's also my #1 choice and has been since she announced. While I appreciate Bernie's idealism I think Warren is 90% compatible with him while being much more pragmatic about (most of) her proposals. Additionally I would like to see a woman president. Bernie would be my second choice. I voted for him in the 2016 primary.

Oh man, someone from the NYT editorial board is in our midst.

Bernie/klob

 

Warren simply doesn't have what it takes, is absolutely terrible when not fully prepared to answer a question, and has abysmal decision making, despite being closer ideologically. Klob might actually punch Trump which would be great tv

[Joe]

lol it's worse than the NYT editorial board. It burns. The goggles, they do nothing!

This may be a shock, but I think after Bernie it doesn't really make a difference, it's all the same dance. Bernie at least opens the possibility for shaking up the status quo in a meaningful way, and could lead to a generation of left leaders with meaningful experience in the executive.

Yes, a shock. This post is a huge shock coming from a Bernie supporter. This is my shocked face.

[chakoo]

Warren -> Bernie. I feel when given the chance to sit down and talk warren does a great job in explaining and pointing out what actually is going on over just talking points. Like in the past when the GOP were trying to run BS bills through the senate she would post videos explaining what is going on and breaking down the hypocrisy in all of it.

It's about more than just the very next election, but building a bench and getting people used to leadership that openly associates with the dirty "s" word. It's already happening, and Bernie is not the perfect vessel, he's the one we've got. The left shift will need to move beyond Bernie soon so I'm thinking of the future.

I personally think Warren gives us a way better chance for that and without the weird idolatry.

Warren isn't a leftist, but a liberal Democrat. It is an important distinction, and meaningful

She's a leftist to everyone, but Berniebros. She would be the most left-wing President since FDR.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Warren/Klobuchar

 

 

Yes, it’s weird and I’m not overly enthused with any of the candidates for various reasons, but I’ve always liked Warren. Not really on board with her promise of blanket student loan forgiveness Olin one fell swoop, though. I’ve long liked Klobuchar, too, she’s more of a pragmatist like me, though I don’t think she’ll win. 
 

Sorry, don’t have a ton of time to get in depth, at work. 
 

But I’m voting blue, no matter who at the end of the day. 

[Ricofoley]

I still have concerns about Bernie's age, but I gotta go Bernie/Warren. Although, really, I'm in Illinois which is two weeks after Super Tuesday, so I'm going to be voting for whichever one of them is still viable in the race because I can't see any way that that's going to be true of both of them at that point.

[CayceG]

1. Sanders

2. Warren

 

Sanders is more left-wing than Warren. Warren is more left-wing than the field. They're BOTH basically social democrats. I think Warren is too likely to go for compromise positions on the most important, visible issues to get something passed. Likewise, I think she'll be another Obama on a lot of issues that aren't sexy. It'll be better than what we got, but I want big steps. Not small steps. 

 

 

EDIT: I demand to hear from whoever has Buttigieg as their first choice and whoever has Bloomberg as their second choice.

This is a good point. I may have to vote for Bernie in Jersey. That will be a weird feeling.

[Jwheel86]

Sanders then Yang. Yang isn't great on disability issues despite his son and he's got a weird obsession with hospital accessibility, that said he seems to be anti federalist which for me is way more important than getting the nuts and bolts right. Warren lost me when her disability plan left Long Term Support Services in the hands of the States, fuck that. My $2.74/hr raise and promotion to full time in December cost 28 hours a week in home care, fuck North Carolina.

Glad to see the candidate updates being put to good use!

I don't really mind who voted. I just want to understand WHY.

[Slug]

Klobuchar/Sanders

[legend]

1. Warren

2. Klobuchar

3. Sanders

4. Buttigieg

5. Biden

 

While I mostly like Bernie, I think he's too polarizing for the country and I don't think that will help the enormous divide that's growing here. Moreover, I am worried about his health, so I chose Klobuchar for second.

 

I don't really trust Pete as good faith public servant. He would probably be "fine" in the end, but he rubs me the wrong way. 

 

I think Biden would only stay one term and I also think he's not operating at 100% and is fairly out of touch.

 

[skillzdadirecta]

My heart goes with Warren but my head goes with Biden. His annoying ass followers aside, I don't have anything against Bernie, I just don't see how he can win to be honest. If he thinks what the DNC and mainstream media are "throwing at him" is bad, then he is in for a RUDE awakening if he becomes the nominee and I really worry about how he does in the South and Southwest. 

[Mr.Vic20]

I'm with Warren, but will most likely be voting Biden come November.

You're avatar is fookin' excellent.

[Massdriver]

The 2 surprises to me with the poll are Warren leads Sanders as a first choice and Klobuchar has 15% support for a second choice.

[b_m_b_m_b_m]

@SaysWho? First choice?

I think he's kidding. He had mentioned that he was supporting Bernie already. 

[Scott]

Buttigieg/Klobuchar

 

I’ll “vote blue, no matter who” but these are my top two picks.
