I didn't pay much attention to the 2016 primary because I was certain Hillary would win it. I didn't realize this stuff was out there but one reason I didn't want Bernie was because I was sure a socialism tag was doom, given all the fear-based attachments.

Recently I thought Bernie had more of a chance at the 2020 nomination than others were crediting. Now I'm going to drift back to my own beginning from 2016. We can't afford to nominate anyone who is so easily categorized as too far from the center. I'll continue to emphasize that 46% who thought Gillum was too liberal for the state of Florida.

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