(8,148 posts)would have won. Hillary had forward looking policies. Neither Amy, Joe, or Pete are living in the past. Biden, for one, knows considerably more than Bernie about the geo-political situation all over the world, today, and is much more concerned about it.
Pete, though I am not happy with his tenure as mayor or the roll-out of his plan, does have a vision for righting racial inequities in every area from health to business. He needs, however, AA communities and leaders input. Biden has numerous policies that are sound and invest a great deal of capital in infrastructure, education, health, and addressing climate change. Amy offers plans with a chance of getting done, again to effect positive change and she would also address our deficit which will affect the next generations as well as infrastructure.
True, many Dems would like a stable, powerful, uniting president like Obama again, to restore our alliances in the world, and to take up where we left off in justice reform issues, police department accountability, gun control, immigration reform, addressing violence against women, gay rights, building our economy, expanding healthcare, civil rights...
It is a mindless meme that no candidate but one wearing the progressive label wants progress, is for positive change on the domestic and international front.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
