Democratic Primaries

(32,017 posts)But, by all means, vote your conscience in the primaries. I intend to vote for Pete Buttigieg, and that's because 60 years of history tell me that Democrats win when we nominate someone who is young, energetic, and optimistic (i.e JFK, Carter, Clinton, Obama).
I'm not telling you how you should vote. I adore Elizabeth Warren, btw, and sent her a letter in 2016 asking her to run against Hillary Clinton, but my point here is that I can see which way this is going. The party has gotten a lot more liberal over the past decade, and Bernie is winning now because many of our politicians aren't getting the message that the American people want serious change. Our leaders need to follow them. Admittedly, Elizabeth Warren IS doing that, and I admire her for it.
Between you and me, I think that Warren would be leading the pack, at this point, if AOC had endorsed and campaigned for Elizabeth instead of Bernie.
Peace.
