Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
It was very disappointing
and I felt his response was inadequate.
I remember back when the Affordable Care Act was being crafted and Blanche Lincoln and Max Baucus voted against a public option or single payer, favoring a version that was more friendly to insurance companies. They did what they perceived as politically advantageous (turned out it wasn't) and hurt a lot of people in the process. Just imagine what the Affordable Care Act could have looked like if more Democrats had voted as Democrats. There are some votes that are hard to recover from.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
