We don't 'do' ad hominem, but we sure need to be able to argue policies. I am supporting Warren and Buttigieg now, both for what I think are good reasons, but neither of them are (or should be) immune from criticism of their past actions, votes or legislation.

Sure, if Biden wins, I will definitely, without equivocation, support him tooth and nail. But we'll see how the primaries go, see who emerges as the leader. See who finally becomes our nominee. Then we have to put them in the White House.

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