Change is important, but should I tow the party line no matter what? I think not. I would rather vote my conscience than to vote against it. I vote for a candidate; I do not vote against a candidate. I voted for Bernie in the primary and voted for Jill Stein in the general. I would do it again IF an establishment candidate is nominated. #Bernie2020

@Arachne the thing that really sucks is that our democratoc system is so deeply flawed . If it worked correctly, then voting one's conscience would never threaten to inadvertently help elect the worst, because votes could not be split. We have a ways to go to catch up to places like Ireland, which has rank order voting. You could then have voted Bernie first, Jill second, and Hillary sixth if you wanted, and still not have lost your chance to ultimately vote against Trump. But that is not how the actual system the U.S. is saddled with works. HRC was absolutely establishment, but your vote for Stein in the general election WAS defacto for Trump, like it or not.

@MikeInBatonRouge I would love rank voting, but since we don’t have it, I will still vote my conscience. NY is a blue state. My voting green made no difference. Many sent a message to the DNC when we didn’t vote, voted for Dump, or voted 3rd party. I don’t regret my action. I would do it again. Beto nor Biden, MSM’s top dogs, would not get my vote. No way.

@Arachne fair enough. It matters most in swing states....and that fact alone is undemocratic.
There is a movement among states to try to render the electoral college obsolete. Who knows if it has a chance
