(48,899 posts)find arguments in favor of voting for Sanders, beyond the most obvious, that he's the lesser of two evils when our opponent is Trump.
It might take me a while. And I'll need to tailor the arguments to the target.
There are people who'll need to be reassured that Sanders will have legislative guardrails on him so he can't do too much damage if he's elected.
There are people who'll need to be reminded that even though Sanders was saying and doing some very foolish things in his 30s and 40s, some people just take extra time to grow up, and most of us said plenty of foolish things before we grew up.
I just hope that if Sanders is the nominee he'll choose someone like Klobuchar as his running mate.
I'm not sure what I'll say if I have to try to explain that if a President Sanders can't serve a full term, we'll be in good hands with a President Tulsi Gabbard, or Nina Turner, or David Sirota.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
