I believe with every ounce of my being that Beto is the BEST one to beat Trump because of his ability to bridge the divide between moderates and progressives while motivating and inspiring new voters and young people. It utterly disgusts me at what the media and even some members of his own party are trying to do to him. Aside from Beto, Biden is the only one that can appeal to moderates and Biden really turns off a lot of progressives. I'm so frustrated right now because it seems to me that Democrats are trying to re-elect Trump. It's idiotic to try to destroy one of your best hopes to beat the orange asshole.

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