Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I have to pull out the big guns, now. [View all]W_HAMILTON
(7,813 posts)32. Most Democrats have been fighting those same fights.
And some -- Biden and Warren, in particular -- have done more than just fight those fights, they have actually WON some of those fights (e.g., Obamacare and CPFB) instead of fighting losing battles for three decades (I'm looking at you, Sanders).
Stop slandering other Democrats by making it sound like only Sanders has been fighting for universal healthcare, raising the minimum wage, etc. It's a damn lie and those sorts of lies are why we currently don't have a Democratic president in the White House trying to pass "the most progressive platform" in party history <-- Sanders's description of the 2016 Democratic platform, not mine.
If I were to vote in a presidential

We can all support all the candidates. It's not pie. We support Democrats. We support unity.

I think that Daffy Duck could beat Donald Trump in 2020 if Daffy ran as a Democrat.
