8. I've also experienced a paradigm shift

Mar 2019

as of right now I am still behind Harris but I am waiting for Brown also. Biden is ruled out entirely due to his recent comment that pence is a decent guy. Not only will I not vote for him in the primary but will advocate against him and will only support him if he wins the primary. Among Brown, Harris and Sanders, the latter one is likely to win the nomination due to cult like enthusiasm. I am much more open to him now than I was in 2016 seeing how happy he makes many of my ‘bernie’ friends - I hate arguing with them like it’s 2016 and may just go with the flow. Bernie’s movement is much stronger in 2019 than 2016 seeing how he was able to expand his base. Prior to 2015, I never even heard his name.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
