In reply to the discussion: "It's amazing when you actually have time to communicate with voters how effective Joe Biden is." [View all]Demsrule86
(71,549 posts)22. I thought Biden made a good point about his clash with Warren...some seem to say that if
you don't agree with them on M4A and other issues than you aren't a real Democrat or as he said 'bad'... and it is kind of condescending to think you know best for everyone...if people don't want MFA than it can't happen. We elect folks to represent our preferred policies not to decide what is best for us against our wishes. M4A won't happen without pubic support. And right now, there is not enough support. But the ACA is popular and can be improved right away if we get the Senate...we might be able to force the GOP to support this too because it is popular...just my two cents.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
