Because Trump is so dangerous & insane shouldn't we be voting exclusively on who has the best shot

I refuse the idea that the correct idea is to vote for the person who we think will beat Trump--it is a false premise for the primary. This is just another way to try to rope people into the false center. Another propaganda tool attempting to "help" people with a truly important decision--who they genuinely think will do the best job as the next President of the United States.

As I read comments on DU, I just shake my head. The Democratic Party honchos decided for all of us that Joe Biden was the man but he is polling poorly at this point. The Democratic Party decided to back John Hickenlooper for the Senate to replace Cory Gardner here in Colorado. (I think both of these men need to remove themselves from politics. Hickenlooper should consider registering as a Republican.) We cannot allow the Democratic Party to make our choices for us--we need to be telling THEM what we want and we do it by voting in the primary.

These are times of great anxiety. We need to focus, breathe slowly in and out to calm ourselves, and analyze each candidate using our standards to determine who would best serve our interests--all of our interests. We have a number of excellent candidates to choose from, which I find quite wonderful--it can also be stress inducing.

We EACH need to choose the person that we feel will best uphold our values and move our country forward. This is the PRIMARY and it is what we are supposed to be doing. Whoever gets the most votes will be the person who runs against Trump. Regardless of who becomes our frontrunner; THAT is when we need to support the person and fight for them.
