Right now he's my third choice, behind Sanders and Warren. But Warren isn't catching fire and I worry that both Sanders and Warren will wave too big of a red flag to the financial world. So Im hoping Pete would be a sort of trojan horse candidate who might be as progressive. My big concerns are climate change and income inequality and it will take someone unafraid of the financial powers to deal with both of these problems.

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