I want to get Trump out AND I want a revolution.

No revolution = revert to pre-Trump status quo
Pre-Trump status quo = Trump elected

As someone who will vote for Joe if he's the candidate, know that I am voting against Trump, not FOR Joe. I would vote for an actual donkey if that was who the DNC put up in 2020, but I wouldn't necessarily believe that donkey would win or enact any of the systemic change that's important to me if it did. And that lack of enthusiasm FOR Joe among the progressive wing is what the DNC needs to come to terms with before the election.

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