6. I have a very hard time trusting people to vote for our Democratic candidate if it isn't Sanders,

if they're people who defend or align themselves with groups who refer to Warren as a snake/sell-out/disgusting sexist terms, and refer to Buttigieg in heinous homophobic terms. Those groups also attack Biden in viscous terms... There's no way I trust them. Their call for unity is baloney. Labeling themselves as progressives is disingenuous, because no progressive would even think about using the slurs I've read in recent days.

If Sanders ends up our nominee, it's going to be a tough to explain away the vitriol while talking with voters, because it's making internet headlines almost every day. I'm also not looking forward to having to explain what he and his supporters mean by establishment, and what's the difference between a Democrat and Democratic socialist, every time I turn around, but I will. Sanders' proposals will be the easy part.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
