I was looking at it more like a conscious effort to unite against Biden. But you are right.

We really are divided IMHO. Half think if we have a decent Democrat who can beat trump, then everything will fall into place after that. (Pragmatism) The other 1/2 think this is the time to stand up for all the really big things we believe in. (Idealism)



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