There are a lot of new DU members, like there was during 2016 primary season, who seem intent on driving division in our party. Either between women and men, or with the African Americans and white middle class.

I refuse to engage them, I tried in 2016, and it ended up making the division between long term DU members even worse. Keep this in mind as you read posts here and respond. Don't get over wrought over something that was put here to do just that.

I tend to think that the people here who don't think Elizabeth can win, like me, feel that way because we feel she is going to far to the left for a great many in this country that we need to win.

Everyone, no matter who you support, MUST get out and vote and take your friends. This is not just an election, we are being manipulated by forces outside out country and inside. Don't allow it.

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

That was an observation, not a directive... ehrnst Jan 2020 #25

Not a directive, but neither is it an observation. Paka Jan 2020 #29

But she wasn't the one who made this public - someone she knew leaked it. ehrnst Jan 2020 #21

True, her surrogates made the actual statement. Paka Jan 2020 #31

One person has stated that she is not going to discuss it further. ehrnst Jan 2020 #26

Not so sure. A lot of Bernie supporters had Warren as their second choice. They are feeling vsrazdem Jan 2020 #30

I think that might be having the effect of burning Sanders supporters out as well. ehrnst Jan 2020 #34

I read her response. It seems reasonable to me. I don't see why any of this is controversial. TCJ70 Jan 2020 #14
