Why is it so terrible for us to have a CHOICE in the Democratic primary?

111. Democrats should be discussing these types of issues. It is healthy for the party and the nation.

I want to know what my fellow DUers are thinking. I don' want a monolithic cheering section following some preordained plan proposed by unknown people. I would like it if Democrats could trust other Democrats in this space to pose honest questions about important policies without being insulted. Being called a troll is an insult....When you know that on the important day, that your fellow posters are going to do the right thing, then questions should not bother you. It is not a bad question just because you do not have a good answer.

I am not a sociologist, and I haven't run a poll, but I believe that primaries mean more exposure; a chance to further develop a message away from official duties; more time on TV. I am confident that Biden can run on his accomplishments whether challenged in the primary or not. I am not the least bit afraid that Biden could not survive a primary challenge. He has done just what his voters have wanted him to do in office.

In the end, it probably doesn't matter; I do not believe that 1% of potential voters will change their minds from where they stand today regardless of what happens in the next year. I know, that there is nothing in the world that could happen to make me vote for Trump in the general election. I think that that is the position of the vast majority of voters. (on both sides) I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Lets try not to act like right-wingers in our defense of our positions.
