Yes, it's important to beat Trump, but we also have to repair the damage he's done. Replacing him with basically our own version won't do that. It will only permanently place the low bar Trump has set. Nominating him is giving up on this country. Trump will have won.

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