(12,792 posts)...which is you can't assume what you read on DU will translate to the general. Everyone on DU will vote, no doubt. But much of the electorate needs to be either inspired, or scared. While I argue that none of the candidates inspire (Obama set the bar way too high.), some may offer assurances to a scared electorate. And Biden, Mayor Pete, and/or Amy seem to be the more calming influences among the candidates left. With this upcoming election, we're just trying to get back to the baseline, and those three seem best suited to get us there. Of course, if we win the presidency, but not the Senate, well, I'm not sure how much will get done. That's why I've been saying for several months taking back the Senate, and holding the house, should be our play. If we do both of those, I couldn't care less who is President.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
