"ONE goal, which is ousting Trump from his wannabe dictatorship."

Exactly. And has Harris knocked out our best chance (not saying best candidate)? She advanced herself at what cost?

Posted and wrote to a friend earlier:

Back in the early 70s, the men controlling these committees were segregationists and the then 27yo Biden knew he had to compromise with these a.holes in order to get anywhere.

Life is full of regretful compromises.

Edited to include a great MM post I just found:

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