I shifted from Buttigieg to Warren to Amy Klobuchar. Warren and Sanders lost me with their inability to clearly explain the financing and administration of Medicare for All, despite my actually wanting a single payer option. I still like Pete — he’s intelligent and articulate, and understands the big picture. But his “you can keep your insurance if you want” policy only works if it is a continuation of the ACA, which I believe is the best policy short of a single payer plan.

Enter Amy, a compassionate, realistic progressive with experience and heart. I know she’s not resonating with African-Americans and Latinos, but hopefully they would warm up to her if she were the nominee. As for Biden and Sanders: good people, but too old. As to the billionaires, forget about it. — Tom Johnson, 69, Carson City, Nev.

I started out supporting Kamala Harris, then Cory Booker. Compared to Warren and Sanders, I am a moderate (but liberal-minded) Democrat and I believe every candidate must explain how to pay for their proposals. I now support Amy Klobuchar because she is experienced, practical, realistic, moderate and willing to work with independents and Republicans. — Kris Abrahamson, 67, Santa Rosa, Calif.

Bernie Sanders: Inspiring a ‘Hell yes’ since 2016

I was hoping for a strong showing from Elizabeth Warren, but it has become clear to me that Bernie Sanders has to be the nominee if the Democrats are to beat Trump and take seats in the Senate. His youthful supporters in red states are far more important than any swing voters that the Democratic establishment thinks they need to win. — Walt Roshon, 59, Delaware

The last time I voted for a Democrat for president was Barack Obama in 2008. He was such a crushing disappointment that I’ve voted third party in each presidential election since. If Bernie is not the Democratic candidate, it will be very difficult for me to vote for another, but I would consider it. The only one entirely off the table for me is Bloomberg, whose “selection” I think would be worse for the country than another four years of Trump. — Carla, Old, Northeast Ohio

I started off supporting Beto O’Rourke because I was really inspired by his Senate race in Texas. Although he’s 47, he felt more “millennial” to me than Pete Buttigieg and more “woke” to common millennial concerns than any other candidate at the time. But once he started his presidential campaign, he just fell flat. He seemed more like a youth pastor trying to stay relevant. I went back to Elizabeth Warren, who I had supported as far back as 2012. I knew her politics aligned with mine and that she was qualified for the job. But then it seemed like her chances of electability were dropping. After watching several debates, I remembered why I voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primaries: every time he’s onstage or talking at an event, I clap after nearly everything he says. I find myself saying, “Hell yes!” every time he talks about M4A, Universal Child Care and legalizing cannabis. Once again, I’m feelin’ the Bern! — Colin C., 29, Indianapolis, Ind.

I am a supporter of Andrew Yang, and even though he has dropped out I still advocate for his platform and hold him as my new benchmark for candidates. All others fall short, so I am voting based on whom I think is most likely to bring Yang into their administration, which I believe is Senator Sanders. I think he is too old and too divisive, but here we are. #CouldaHadYang — Dylan Biggs, 22, Washington, D.C.
