Does anyone else find it annoying

that Warren for the second time does not get to take the debate stage the same time as Biden?

Lets face it. Biden right now is the most known candidate. Like the last two debates, the night he is on, will get the higher ratings, since he is the front runner.

I do not think its fair that Warren does not get to be on the same stage with Biden in either of these debates.

Like button in DU

I sent this to the administrators but thought I would start a thread.


Has the site ever considered adding a "Like" button at the bottom of peoples post & replies? I see comments that I like or agree with and it would be nice to be able to like them so the poster knows people agree with or like what they said.

I also belong to a Dallas Cowboys messageboard (https://cowboyszone.com/forums/fan-zone.59/) and its a really nice feature. It actually keeps track of how many likes a member has.

It would be nice to read something and just click "like" instead of having to reply to the person to just say you agree.

on the site I mention they have the Like or Reply right beside each other.


Just a thought. I do really enjoy this site.

I'm a little scared & thinking about switching my support to Biden


First off. I do like Biden. I always have. But I like several candidates more because they are more "progressive".

If I could wave a magic wand I would easily pick Warren to be the President. I think she would bring the biggest change in the direction I believe in. She would go after the banks, wall street, corp. American more than any other candidate (besides maybe Bernie).

But I am also worried that she could lose to Trump. I'm so scared of him being reelected. I do think Biden would beat Trump & actually beat him pretty easy.

My first thought was that since Trump's approval is so low, this would be the best time to elect a real, left leaning progressive candidate. This might be our shot. But now that Trumps poll numbers went up some and all his hate speech. I'm really worried of another 4 years of this man.

Its not like I would be unhappy with Biden. He is a good man. He would definitely get our moral compass back. He just does not excite me as much as some of the others. But he does seem like the safe pick.

My question for the DU is - Do I vote with my heart or with my head?

I don't get to vote for a long time being in PA but I have given money to Warren's & Harris campaign. Just wondering if I should just give my support to Biden.
