Out in the Hinterlands where the electorate actually lives? Not so much.

Said from the start it was a losing position. But oh no, we had to read umpteen justifications and freedom of speech rants and . . . whatever.

Stupid position, start to finish.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I watched the speech. It was astonishingly limp. nolabear May 2019 #1

I see he's changed his campaign color scheme to GREEN. I wonder what that means. NurseJackie May 2019 #11
Maybe he's planning a future run for Governor of the Green Mountain State? George II May 2019 #12
What else could green mean? Maybe Briebrie should clarify. lapucelle May 2019 #14
Perhaps Jill Stein will tap him as her running mate this time around? George II May 2019 #15
An excellent idea. I'm always in favor of setting challenging, yet REALISTIC realistic goals. NurseJackie May 2019 #17
Perhaps this time around it will be better for him. ehrnst May 2019 #35

Between the green and the I, I think he has made it pretty clear to us Democrats. FreeBe May 2019 #34
Has the party been taken? Has the party been betrayed? Is he sending a message? NurseJackie May 2019 #36
Regardless of if trying to get the Stein votes, pisses me off once again setting himself separate FreeBe May 2019 #46
