(41,976 posts)That turned people towards Biden. He was lets just say, not my favorite, even though I knew hed be a good, possibly a great, President. He is an old white man to be sure, but he is pragmatic and appears to be fundamentally decent, and very aware as to who his constituents are. The black voting community started flocking to him early in in a way that even Kamala Harris or Cory Booker didnt get. Kind of a digression there but yeah, being whipped sawed between labels, at least for me, just pissed me off. I do my own research, or I try, I dont just pick someone because of cult of personality, although I do want to see more diversity, and Im fully behind supporting that as a goal.
Right now, watching the Sanders campaign, its like watching a balloon slowly losing air.
He has secured his place in history though. I guess, in 50 years hell be mentioned in political science classes, but so will Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and unfortunately, Donald Trump.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
