There seems to be a concerted effort to smear and undermine the current front-runner. Frankly, that, emmaverybo May 2019 #129

Instead of assuming, ask any DU Biden supporter if we are all in because of Obama. emmaverybo May 2019 #6

Opinions like this are subjective. pnwmom May 2019 #9

Joe Biden's position on a woman's right to choose: still_one May 2019 #20

Yes, I have heard him say it. But why, unlike the other top candidates, pnwmom May 2019 #22

Unfair and untrue...he brought Obama along on some issues...you just hate the guy. Demsrule86 May 2019 #45

It's the system. You look back to the 1930's and people in government didn't make much money, rusty quoin May 2019 #7

Your candidate and several others are bucking the system. watoos May 2019 #19

If we had public financing of elections this wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, that isn't how still_one May 2019 #33
