22. Biden is a respected statesman
Tue Dec 4, 2018, 12:03 PM

And amazing Democrat but I honestly do not think that he is the path forward in 2020.

I will vote for whomever the eventual nominee is but for as long as I can I will advocate for what I think is the best candidate to win in 2020. As of right now the person I like most is Kamala Harris. Maybe O’Rourke or Inslee or Kennedy as a VP but I’m completely open in that respect.

We need to move forward and learn the lessons from this midterm election.

We most be united as Democrats and get as many people out to vote as possible and hold the House and take the Senate and most importantly take as many state legislatures as possible.
