us United...and then in 2010 the left left Greens Abandoned Obama because he could not get a public option...and we lost the house. In 2014, we lost the Senate...Obama was at his lowest popularity with guess who? This cost us a Supreme Court Justice...then the worst betrayal of all 2016 where fucking Stein took enough votes away from Hillary to allow Trump to win. And now we face the abyss,,,if we don't win the progressive cause is dead...the status quo didn't get us here...Hillary didn't get us here nor did Gore or Kerry-it is just the opposite. Those who claim to be on our side did it...with friends like this, well you know the rest. And what is their important work now? are they all in to win in 20 ....why no, I hear the same shit as in 16. I guess it is more important to primary Democrats in areas where we could lose the seat or in safe Democratic areas...wow so impressive...instead of taking the fight to Trump they work to unseat Democrats....musical chairs. What a great plan!

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