Bottom line problem: No black or brown person will be on any primary ballot

77. Now, Part 2...

We agree with 95% of this post however, there are some reality at play here in the Democratic Presidential Primary Contest that must be addressed:

1. Cory Booker had baggage - called his support previously for the Charter School Movement. It truly was a non-starter with voters like us as Charter Schools thanks to the Devos' has run and almost ruined the Public K-12 system in Michigan. Due to this previous stance of his, he could never earn our support unless he was the final nominee. Otherwise, he can try again later but first he must address and atone to his previous strong support for the Charter Schools for Huge Profits with Less Education overall, movement.

2. Kamala Harris was originally our first choice. However, our thoughts as her campaign continued was about how scattered it was. From, she loved Marijuana to she previously charged Marijuana related crimes. To she was for Medicare for All to really, it was a Public Option program. To pointing out Joe Biden previous questionable stance on School Busing to backing up out of it when she received heat from those who support Biden. In other words, her ability to stand on what was thought to be her principal stances on an issue kept scattering all over the place. In our eyes, Kamala Harris was in the Moderate Progressive lane which was our initial attraction to her candidacy. She should have stayed there as no candidate can be "all things" to "all people". Lastly, if she took an initial stance -- stick to it period. Hopefully, she will work on this for the future and her future is still bright if she does.

3. Julian Castro is a rising star, period. The problem with his campaign was funding. If he would have had the necessary funding levels to compete properly, he would STILL be IN this RACE. Between him and Elizabeth Warren, we found our candidate Sweet Spot after initially favoring Kamala Harris. We chose Elizabeth Warren because we believe and still do believe, she is the right candidate for these times as a Financial Mess is coming from Drump soon - if we are not there already and the Drump Administration is hiding it. We want Castro to be Warren's VP if she can reach this level. However, Warren poll numbers have gotten concerning and if she can't manage a strong Iowa showing and equal showing in the first 3-4 Primary States, we're done.

So where does this leave us -- not excited for what the Democrats Chances of beating Drump are.

4. Biden is boring but we will vote for him if he is the nominee -- however, we do not believe he can win. His previous record before becoming President Obama's VP was awful at Presidential Contests he put himself in. Also, as African-American voters who talk to other African-American voters, the S.C. Polls are an outlier. Biden's real support in the African-American American community is soft for those 50 and younger -- and that is a fact.

5. Bernie keeps trying to burning down the house and we are tired of hearing his name -- everywhere. As former Bernie supporters in 2016, his ongoing style is a turn off and some of his Cult like supporters are reminding us just a bit too damn much like another version of the MAGA Cult -- and we are NOT IMPRESSED. If he is the nominee, we will vote for him but he will not beat Trump due to him and/or his supporters turning off too many Democratic Voters - including African-American voters in the same group as we cited for Biden, in particular.

6. Pete Buttiedge is not winning the nomination and that is a good thing as so many African-American voters would stay home, it would make 2016 drop off of African-American Democratic support pale in comparison. His Mayoral record in South Bend among dealing with issues of importance to African-Americans is downright awful. The only way we would consider voting for him is if by some strange occurance, he won the nomination -- but that is not likely going to happen.

7. Andrew Yang is so similar to a TV Game Show Host in his mannerisms, its tiring. Hopefully, he will suspend his campaign like yesterday or SOON. Real Soon.

8. Amy K. worries us. She seems a little too eager to appeal to the "Lost Trump Working Class (White) Voter" who she thinks she can "Get Back" by catering to them in her policies. This is a turn off as she is not addressing effectively issues that impact African-Americans. Yes, we would vote for her if she was the gain the nomination however, the reality appears to be her Candidacy will be over after the votes are counted in Iowa.

So that's the ticket. If Elizabeth Warren, who we believe strongly is the BEST CANDIDATE at this time, does not pull it out after the first 5 states, we are tuning out of the Presidential Primary, will focus on State and Local Elections and show up to vote for whoever is the Democratic Nominee in November but that vote would not be done enthusiastically. It will just be to hope, Trump is no more. That's it, That's All.
