I know I want a lively debate, NOT a coronation of Mrs. "Inevitable" because it's "her turn."

She isn't running! If a woman says no it doesn't mean maybe.
I think it is time we face up to the fact that there will be no real progressive Dem running for President in 2016.

(1,021 posts)write somebody in on my ballot in the 2016 Democratic primary because I do not support Hillary.
With an important caveat I will vote for her in the general election because I would never vote for a Republikkan.
If I am living in a competitive battleground state I will vote for Clinton even though I will actually be voting against the Republikkkan.
If I am in a safe blue state that she cannot lose then I will write somebody in because in good conscience I cannot vote for Hillary.
However I see a glimmer of hope here. By insisting on a "debate" Warren could be intimating that she will possibly jump in if she does not think Hillary is addressing the issues. I wonder what took place in those Warren/Clinton meetings a couple of months ago? It does not HAVE to be Warren, I just want a liberal, more personally acceptable alternative to Hillary.

(1,021 posts)Just because I am not enthusiastic about Hillary and might write someone else in in the GE does not mean that other down-ballot candidates and issues won't have my support They most certainly will get my vote whether I can stand Hillary or not.
Hint: Can't stand her.

(14,733 posts)does that hide every OP that has that in the title, in the text, or even in comments under the OP?
Will it hide OP's on Elizabeth Warren, for instance, if the OP author also puts 'Hillary' in the text somewhere?
