My favorite part about the Democratic Party presidential primary season. [View all]

Our candidates are out there representing the brand. Right now, for the most part, they are promoting policies that are to the left of what we have seen in recent history. I place a lot of that on Clinton’s and the parties platform in 2016. The party has made clear that it’s a big tent and the only way to combat oppression and economic servitude is by charging to the left.

We are getting back to what once was the national discussion among Democrats. I’m talking among a majority of the candidates. Not just one here or there.

Trump hasn’t taken my hope. This push is going to continue to move society in the direction we want. We have a lot to look forward to over the next couple of decades.

We pay attention to the details and the battle. Most people are just hearing the general ideas. That’s a really good thing.

It’s a good day to be a Democrat.

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