(26,081 posts)There is a total passion to beat drumpf and it doesn't include just activists. Some otherwise sane people who were somewhat ignorant & lazy & voted for him last time have seen his lies, his hate and his greed and totally want him gone. It's not just us.
Clinton and Obama had more charisma in their tiny fingers than most people have in their whole body. They are not the usual candidates. But - it's also how the media portrays them. The media is pushing the white guy meme, they aren't heralding the charisma and the wonderful plans to fix so much from Elizabeth Warren - they are pushing Mayor Pete because he's the new face. I like Mayor Pete, I like Liz, but Biden has the heart and the caring and the experience to be a great president. If those factors don't make him Joe our general candidate, I will work for whoever the party has chosen. That is my main concern, that some dems won't support the general candidate because they aren't "pure" enough and will help Russia & the fascists steal the election.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
