So on the basis of platform and polices being advocated. Tell me why I should vote for Biden in the primaries...

Yet there are not many answers are being posted, go through . I was hoping to see some people list points outlining the policies they like, or what motivate them to vote for Biden, but nothing...

So far the posts are:
- ~50 years ago McGovern lost... which is great since he is not running today.
- Bernie honeymooned in Russia (false, it was a sister city event between mayors of Burlington, and Yaroslavl)
- A return to normal (so no points there)
- Not Trump (which is very true).

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