37. I give him credit

Dec 2019

for helping to pull the party to the left. In 2016, I saw him as a necessary trailblazer, though I didn't see him as a president. There is a lot more to being president than ideas and policies. I never expected him, however, to divide the party and he's doing it again. Not everyone can be president, but each of us can put ego aside and contribute.

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

Did you pull that response from the Republican playbook? johnnyplankton Dec 2019 #5

Nope, I pulled it out of the history books. You might want to look into that debacle and others. George II Dec 2019 #7

One could always pull out the Central Park Five but..... I see why you would rather go with Autumn Dec 2019 #10

The Central Park Five has nothing to do with Tawana Brawley. George II Dec 2019 #12

It has to do with Al Sharpton doesn't it? You know, the guy you commented on. One of Obama's Autumn Dec 2019 #15

If you're responding to my input in this discussion, specifically with respect to Tawana Brawley.... George II Dec 2019 #18

No. Hell no. You don't get to tell me what I can discuss and how to discuss it. Autumn Dec 2019 #22

So you admit that he never apologized to the families of the lives he ruined in that case. Okay.... George II Dec 2019 #25

Try reading what I posted again George. Your word admit? Autumn Dec 2019 #29

I did. What's so funny.. George II Dec 2019 #34

And Tawana Brawley has nothing to do with Rev. Al supporting Sanders. MerryBlooms Dec 2019 #44

Wow. Hassin Bin Sober Dec 2019 #6

It's no wonder, people are looking for more than the Centrist "No we can't". jalan48 Dec 2019 #3

I was watching AM Joy this morning, and apparently Harry Reid edit: Adam Jefferson floppyboo Dec 2019 #11

That is very interesting PatSeg Dec 2019 #28

Warren would be a Fantastic President! floppyboo Dec 2019 #42

Though Bernie may have high favorability ratings PatSeg Dec 2019 #43

Why do you consider his campaign to be divisive? Autumn Dec 2019 #14

He puts down Democrats an awful lot PatSeg Dec 2019 #31

That tends to happen in a primary. Autumn Dec 2019 #35

I hear you. But imagine in this republic, if you will, citizens like you and me PatrickforO Dec 2019 #24

Good post! I_UndergroundPanther Dec 2019 #48

I support Joe but evertonfc Dec 2019 #13

Some of us find his tactics quite unappealing while we admire his convictions and even endorse emmaverybo Dec 2019 #17

You know, I understand that. I feel the exact same way about Joe Biden. Autumn Dec 2019 #19

That's exactly the problem. As a rule, movement leaders are good for revolutions, but not governing. beastie boy Dec 2019 #20

Yes... you nailed that one!! Thekaspervote Dec 2019 #23

I'll say BannonsLiver Dec 2019 #26
