Democratic Primaries

(42,862 posts)Generally speaking (of course) the type of candidate that I can easily support is someone that can do more than "hate the Democrats" and "complain about the Democratic party". Anyone who does such a thing has a very narrow and misguided focus or obsession and he (or she) is making a mistake.
Instead, the type of candidate that I can easily support will show their loyalty to the Democratic party and that they embrace the party and its ideals (rather than wanting to "destroy and rebuild" the party in the name of some type of "revolution" bullshit).
The winning candidate will be able to show his (or her) LOVE OF COUNTRY along with realistic plans (not empty and impossible promises of rainbows and unicorns).
What I'm saying is that anger and hatred of Trump... AND of Democrats AND of the Democratic party isn't enough. Anyone can create a "laundry list" of everything that's wrong with America. That's NO accomplishment. And a list of what's wrong is NOT a list of workable and realistic solutions either.
The candidate who gets my confidence isn't the one who tells me what "what we gotta do" without having a plan of how it's going to happen and how it's going to get paid for.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
