Oct 2019

Another dump on Warren thread, with lots of LOL, which you have every right to do in the name of vetting. However LOL is not part of the vetting process. Facts are.

I for one have not dumped on Biden, though I could. Fact is I haven't dumped on any of the DEMOCRATIC candidates.

I have not wed myself to any candidate, yet have a favorite. Is she perfect? Nope. Do I agree with everything she stands for, nope. She is my Senator and I have met her and know her better than you do.

Because I have not dumped all my hopes and dreams into one candidate I will not have to hold my nose to vote for the candidate in 2020. I will be voting for the Democrat because this is the most important elections of our lifetime. I don't think///I KNOW we don't have another four years to make this right. Most of us will be gone by then one way or the other.

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

So what's your number? 50% is enough for any issue to pass. JoeOtterbein Oct 2019 #28

I posted a poll here to ask liberal DUers this. Only a small fraction thought MFA could get highplainsdem Oct 2019 #32

As Amy said....her idea is not the only strong positive change Otto Lidenbrock Oct 2019 #4

Once a DEm president starts pushing for MFA, the public and a Dem Congress will soon follow. LonePirate Oct 2019 #18

It's realism, not defeatism. highplainsdem Oct 2019 #27
