13. "The hard left of our party"

Wed Dec 18, 2019, 09:54 AM

Dec 2019

Bernie Sanders is not the 'hard left' of the Democratic Party. He is not a Democrat, and nor are his leadership team. AOC is DSA, not a Social Democrat. Enough said.

Elizabeth Warren's issue is not M4A, but the corruption of politics by money, something Biden, Buttigiegs and Klobachar barely mention.

Biden, Buttigieg, Klobachar, and certainly Bloomberg, would restore the much storied 'soul of America', underwritten by big, big money. If you are happy with that, I'm not. Carter was a centrist Dem but he was not shooting up greenbacks.

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