In reply to the discussion: What, aside from wishful thinking, makes anyone think... [View all]Progressive2020
(713 posts)I think a drawback for Sanders is that his campaign is not a novelty like it was in 2016. People know who he is, and he is no longer a new face to many people. This is also a sort of argument against Biden as well. We need new faces and a new generation in the Party.
People want certain policies, yes, but they also want new, fresh candidates. So, a mix of youth and experience. Add Warren into the mix and you have the progressive/left vote split between her and Sanders. So, I like both of their progressive positions, but I also want someone who can also energize the Party and knock Trump out.
Despite that, I would love to see Sanders or Warren debate Trump, but that might be wishful thinking. I am looking at Kamala Harris and Booker right now, but I am still undecided. I think that it is good that we have so many candidates, and I hope that we have a relatively clean fight.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
