44. But why not? If he wants the same things as you do?

None of the candidates are going to be your bestie. You won't be having them over for dinner. You don't have to live with them.
Sanders can be a grumpy looking old man who barks rather than speaking sometimes. A bit short tempered. Dishevelled, and gruff. That is not important to me if his policies line up with my own values. I didn't vote for George W Bush because he was more 'likeable" and I could have a beer with him, over Gore who seemed much less homey and stiff in front of the cameras. Maybe some did, but I though more liberal folks were smarter than that.

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

I can not convince myself that Kamala Harris being a woman of color will not move ahead in this wasupaloopa Sep 2019 #3

It should be about policy not skin color and gender. Joe941 Sep 2019 #9

It is about all those things. Voters decide what it is about. wasupaloopa Sep 2019 #13

That 26% who do not want to disclose their choice, those are for Kamala Harris Perseus Sep 2019 #21

Writing off young people melman Sep 2019 #15

Melman, you know very well that in terms of winning it will not be enough for younger people emmaverybo Sep 2019 #19

nobody wrote them off. young people have always voted in low numbers JI7 Sep 2019 #25

It's not writing them off. Young people are by far the least reliable voting block historically. bearsfootball516 Sep 2019 #26
