You're missing a "Clinton, but only to make it easier for the Dems to win". That would probably be my choice.

That's an honest Clinton vote, so falls under second option. The question is who you're voting for, regardless of who you prefer.

Bah, voted Sanders. To the barricades!

Sanders.
Seems actually rather genuine.

Sanders vs trump would be interesting. Such a contrast. ...and it would prove once and for all whether Americans are idiots

Sanders in a landslide. I think maybe it's only Euros who are awake right now. :P

I am abstaining for the lack of a "Jaron" option.

Write in for Trump is not Jaron enough for you?

Sanders does seem genuine and I don't think you could do worse than a genuine socialist. Apart from Trump.

He's about as socialist as a mainstream member of the Labour party, i.e. not much.

Just nominating those 2 would probably do the trick.

if sanders is genuine, then he's dumber than I thought. most (all?) of his ideas are impossible to implement. he might as well be saying, "if I'm elected, I'm going to make everyone rich! why 1%, why not 100%!" there's really no insight into how he would run the office, because he hasn't said anything. this coupled with (1) he would get torn apart in the general election and (2) he's just not presidential and lacks gravitas = why would anyone want to vote for him? you vote for him if you don't understand how the US works -- i.e., college students and europeans.  :P

That same vote got Dubya and Obama elected, why not Saunders?  No one who understands how the US works would vote for either of those guys, either.  There's clearly a lot more people who don't understand how the US works than just college students and Europeans.
