22. If she's your choice you should choose her

"Electability" is a factor, but I'm wary of that being too much of a driving force because too often it's based on a fear of what other people are going to do. People become electable when enough people vote for them. and I think if enough people support the candidate they really feel most strongly about for the right reasons, candidate becomes electable.

So, if Warren's your person, go for it!

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