Do you support MoveOn and DFA's campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2016?

Farewell, dear friends... TrueBlueMajority, Hunter, Jay Cuasay, elfling, are gone.
I just found out that some of our oldest (longest term) and dearest Kossacks have recently been laid off or resigned. Apparently It came up in the comments in the diary about the Second DK Site Maintenance with the recent update. I had no idea. I...

Let's Face It, Trump Did Not Win the 2016 Presidential Election. He and David Pecker Stole It.
It doesn’t matter that the Republicans are having their convention in Milwaukee come July 15 — 18. Or that Mr. Walking Dead owns their nomination based on delegate count and winning primaries. Plain fact, here, is that Trump has been dead since April...

	Yes. The Parties don't decide who our candidate is. It is the voters. That's how a democratic, constitutional republic works.
15%	11 votes
	No. Progressives are thinking short-term. Sure, Clinton isn't ideal, but change is incremental. We all need to be thinking long-term here.
5%	4 votes
	Yes. The party shouldn't ignore 6,567,000 voters, and neither do I.
0%	0 votes
	Maybe. It depends how much this catches on. Why not see how many voters come out in support of this?
2%	2 votes
	Yes. Senator Warren would make Hillary into a stronger candidate if they are both in the primary.
4%	3 votes
	While it might be undemocratic to say this, the party knows better in this case. So I do not support the draft effort.
1%	1 votes
	No. Elizabeth Warren would take just enough votes from Hillary, make it through the primary by inches, and lose the general election.
0%	0 votes
	Yes. I believe Elizabeth Warren can beat any of the presumptive Republican nominees.
2%	2 votes
	Yes. Even if Warren doesn't want to run, it's up to the voters to show her she has the support to run. That's how all presidential candidacies start out.
5%	4 votes
	Yes, I support a strong primary process. The idea of inevitability should have absolutely no place in a democracy.
2%	2 votes
	Nope. I like Senator Warren, but she'd be more effective in her new Senate leadership role crafting the Democratic message Hillary will have to run on.
19%	14 votes
	Yes. The only reason why Senator Warren was given her Senate leadership position was to shut up her supporters. If we leave the pressure on and keep supporting the draft effort, the Party will be forced to give her an even more influential role.
2%	2 votes
	No. This is just a cynical ploy by both MoveOn and DFA to boost their membership and donations.
34%	25 votes
	Even if this were only to boost MoveOn and DFA's membership, and they are still able to get broader support for a Warren presidential run, it doesn't matter what MoveOn or DFA's intentions are.
2%	2 votes
